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

"This product helps our organization by providing a shared model to the customer which reduces the cost for humans and infrastructure via the multi-tenancy feature."
"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."
"Not only are our internal processes simplified and enhanced by UIM but it also adds value to the services we provide to our customers."
"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)."
"It has provided insight on almost all our information system components/layers using a single unified solution."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"We use it for monitoring our infrastructure; I think it's a great product that really brings it into the 21st century of Web UI, with this latest version bringing more of that HTML5 interface in and really stepping it up to be a great, easy-to-use, quick UI."
"My experience with technical support has been perfect."
"My experience with technical support has been perfect."
"The product is excellent."
"My experience with technical support has been perfect."
 

Cons

"UIM does have a large initial learning curve for new users, and you must learn the basic architecture."
"Customer Service: 8/10. Technical Support: 6/10."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The UIM product is playing catch-up. They are not there yet to do a lot of the next-level things that we need them to do."
"One of the things I would like to see an improvement on is the ability to do mass deployment."
"Communication errors with most of the servers."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"The main complaint with the tool is we are attempting to migrate off of SCOM and the management packs that SCOM has for Exchange (ED and SharePoint) it does not look like UIM and can't necessarily compete with those."
"The presentation of the features can be improved."
"The presentation of the features can be improved."
"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."
 

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)."
"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."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The license is expensive."
