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.

Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"No technology is perfect, but CA is doing a really wonderful job of providing products that are reliable, scalable, and dependable to entities all over the world."
"If you have a highly heterogeneous environment, CA UIM has the best chance of supporting all of your platforms (including probes for more exotic ones)."
"The primary benefit for us at this stage in our approach is that we've been able to cut outages by about 300%."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product."
"Flexibility – in the sense that it allows me to monitor our IT infrastructure and application in a very holistic manner."
"Support has been very responsive to our requests."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
 

Cons

"It seems clunky, not as user friendly as Spectrum, for example."
"Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive."
"Some aspects of it can be complex."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We have products that we’re moving away from that have a better GUI and they’re 15 years old."
"One of the biggest areas to improve would be the training aspect."
"Parts of the Unified Management Portal are not written in HTML5. I would like all components (Portlets) to be HTML5."
"The first level has not been the most helpful, but maybe a lot of our issues just require higher engineers."
"Good system management is costly."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"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."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
