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.

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

"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."

"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."

"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."

"It is very scalable."

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

"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."

"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."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."

"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."

"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."

"This is a good product and I recommend it."

"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."

Cons

"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."

"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."

"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."

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

"The dashboards need to be improved."

"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."

"The company has not kept pace with developments."

"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."

"I think that support integration could 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."

"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 return on investment report is too difficult to understand."

"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."

"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."
