Great scalability, versatility, infrastructure coverage and ease of implementation

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. The number of people needed for deployment depends on the customer, but we usually need at least one person and two to three at other times. The initial implementation takes about two months. The full implementation can be infinite because you may want to implement more. The product does not require a lot of maintenance. To increase the implementation, we push additional services in the first and second years to make it more robust and fully implemented. We usually sell to big enterprises. It can also be affordable for smaller enterprises, but we don't work with them a lot. We have from 2,000 to 10,000 workers. So the product itself can have five, ten or even 20 users.

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 delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"

"Probe packages and probe deployment."

"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."

"Technical support is great."

"DX UIM is scalable."

"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."

"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."

"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."

"Wire data analytics."

"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."

"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."

"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."

Cons

"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."

"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."

"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."

"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."

"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."

"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."

"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."

"The dashboards need to be improved."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."

"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."

"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."

"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."

"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"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)."

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."

"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."

"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
