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

"With acquired experience, the product can do almost everything a monitoring product should do, but it is not all out of the box."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"For the past year, the tool has been quite stable in our environment, so I enjoy working with it."
"We have seen, over the last 4 or 5 years, about a 30% decrease in escalations in crisis management, less severity events because we are trending and tracking against thresholds so we get early warning alerts."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature are the data gathering capabilities, metrics, and being able to publish those."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: 8/10. Technical Support: 6/10."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"There are potential issues with the flexibility for the number of devices that we have because the scalability-performance issue is not fully vetted."
"Since this solution is new to me, I don't know if it was properly scaled out for our environment to be as efficient and effective as it needs to be."
"They should further test their probe development. If we add a probe to pick out certain metrics from a particular platform, it’s not easy and there are some issues."
"There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"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."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"Good system management is costly."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"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."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
