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

"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"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."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
 

Cons

"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"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."
"Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"It's very expensive."
"We use the free version."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
