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.

It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change.
It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change It would be nice to have a centralized client-settings management. At the moment, the client settings have to be changed individually. I've used it since 2011. The deployment of the new server…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product helps our organization by providing a shared model to the customer which reduces the cost for humans and infrastructure via the multi-tenancy feature."
"CA UIM gives us interoperability between network and server monitoring, as well as the ability for us to be a one-stop shop."
"Prior to using this solution, we had three point solutions in place; one for voice infrastructure, one for servers, and one for networks, and this tool meant we were actually able to collapse everything into a single interface which made my team's life easier, but it also meant that our first line staff then just had one view of the customer's entire infrastructure."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"You really do get a lot in return, especially when you have a highly heterogeneous environment."
"It has a good learning curve for someone even if he doesn't have experience with server monitoring tools."
"It’s been very stable, it’s flexible, and it really fits our business needs and business model."
"It has a wide breadth of monitors and probes."
"It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write."
 

Cons

"Product stability and performance, especially in Linux environments needs to be improved."
"It needs more report capabilities; things that make it easier to find them. It needs a central, global, point of view for inventory."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"We encountered scalability issues in some areas such as bandwidth monitoring."
"There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports."
"Administration interface, in particular the infrastructure manager. The event console could also use a make-over."
"The probes (basic components that can, amongst other things, monitor particular systems) can be buggy."
"Deploying an agent leaves much to be desired."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"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."
