Solution Architect at SA Consulting
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.

A powerful service that is very stable and scalable
It's a very powerful service, you have to use your training and understand how to work it. After that, it's very easy to collect and to use. It may be hard to use for the administrators. It's like a Ferrari, if you're a very good driver you'll go to 300 but you have to know how to drive it. If you have a Ferrari but you don't know how to use it, it's not going to be good. Also, it's very important to understand what the customer needs to decide on what kind of products you are going to use, and what product and what solution to implement. I would rate the solution nine out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to configure alert by client requirements and can see those alert with a lot of detail."
"Diagnosing issues is a lot faster; we can pinpoint what is going on more quickly than trying to figure it out, and with our teams being kind of split, we can all access it at the same time and see what we need to see very quickly and easily."
"It has provided insight on almost all our information system components/layers using a single unified solution."
"One of the most valuable features would be the out-of-the-box capability; it's extremely capable from day one, not a lot of customization is required in order to implement it within your environment, and I think that's just a huge resource win from a time-measurement perspective."
"Nimsoft shines like the sun compared to ProactiveNet with night and day differences in stability, scalability, functionality, features, and quality of support."
"UIM is easy to use and configure and easy to implement and to get up and running out of the box."
"The main feature for us is its flexibility with their message bus and their API to make it do what you need it to do, since everyone's different."
"CA UIM Solution is very easy and fast to use, it offers both agent-base and agent less monitoring options."
"The product is excellent."
"My experience with technical support has been perfect."
 

Cons

"Reporting capability - We're unable to drill down to the specific data that we'd like. We're also not able to get some data, such as trends, that we want when trying to determine root causes of issues in our applications."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The environment around UIM is sometimes complex and can cause some instability."
"Improvements could be made to the reporting and analytics features. The OOB report templates and analytics can be improved."
"It's too modular in the sense that there is not an awareness of things."
"I would like to see a little deeper application monitoring and maybe some of the capabilities of CA Spectrum."
"Open source and acquired components are often bolted on and integrated poorly."
"UIM is showing its age, and needs a major overhaul to keep up with competitors."
"However, the license is expensive."
"The presentation of the features can be improved. It can be more user-friendly for the visual part of the portal and to allow the customer to be able to use."
"The presentation of the features can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"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."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"The license is expensive."
