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

"DX UIM is scalable."

"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."

"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."

"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."

"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."

"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."

"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."

"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Wire data analytics."

Cons

"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."

"The company has not kept pace with developments."

"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've had issues with pulling reports."

"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."

"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."

"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."

"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

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

"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."

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

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

"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."

"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CAD $400,000 annually."

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

"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."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

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

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

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

"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."
