We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center.""It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled.""The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products.""The tool helps us understand network performance.""It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you.​""The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice.""One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices.""The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."

"When compared with SolarWinds, it is more user-friendly, and tasks can be completed more quickly.""Pushing the network configuration to bulk devices. This saves a considerable amount of time that the engineer spends in pushing the network configuration."

Cons
"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine.""Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down.""This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now.""It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place.""This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements.""Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability.""It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics.""Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."

"Level one administration task can be defined in Micro Focus Network Automation but it could be more simplified.""Compatibility of the devices needs to be enhanced, as it seems to be limited."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
  • "Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
  • "They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
  • "We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
  • "The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

  • "Pricing is reasonable, but if you compare it with other network Operation Management tools that are available on the market, it's expensive."
