Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that.""I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes.""It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions""Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple.""Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports.""We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution.""Great out-of-the-box capability.""The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."

Cons
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically.""DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved.""We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators.""The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process.""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 dashboards need to be improved.""The company has not kept pace with developments.""How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."

"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client.""Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason.""The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."

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."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "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."
