Helps us provide visibility into network performance, capacity planning, and cost analysis
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.

Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations
We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Technical support is great."
"It is very scalable."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"Wire data analytics."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
 

Cons

"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​"
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
