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.

Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For the past year, the tool has been quite stable in our environment, so I enjoy working with it."
"As I have worked on this product for quite some time I personally think this product is the best in terms of overall infrastructure monitoring."
"The valuable features are that it monitors our infrastructure, our servers, network devices, and applications proactively, helps us to prevent problems, and CA UIM tells us how to do that."
"Technical Support: The UIM support team is excellent."
"Since we have gone live, it has been extremely stable."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"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."
"The product is one of the best in the market, and even more, it's better when you start talking about the enterprise level because of its great scalability, but this product is simple enough to be used by small-to-medium and medium-to-big companies."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"It is very good if you are a Cisco shop; it gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"It needs to be more stable and have improved reporting."
"Also, the thick client administration tool is archaic, slow, and cumbersome."
"​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"The initial setup was frustrating."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"It needs more report capabilities; things that make it easier to find them. It needs a central, global, point of view for inventory."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"The only downside to this software is the price; it's a very pricey solution and very expensive, and it requires a good amount of resources in terms of server memory."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It's very expensive."
"We use the free version."
