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.

Cost effective but when we originally purchased LANGuardian, some features needed further development.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ROI is very quick, and the information is extremely valuable for businesses."
"It is very reliable and easy to implement."
"Through action automation (using NAS and robot actions) we got reduced operational effort, improved operative tasks, and optimization of resources."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Besides the technical benefits described, CA UIM and CA Spectrum were the key factors in increasing the SLA from the IT environment to 99.99%, from the 99.5% achieved without CA solutions."
"The CA tools allow me to get into detailed transactions for custom ranking, and be able to make predictions."
"Support has been very responsive to our requests."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Our CIO asked us to track down the source of undesired uploads, which trigger e-mails received by outside bodies regarding what they refer to as "copyright violations", and Languardian was the most efficient and effective tool for the job."
"If you are looking for a solid solution that can be easily deployed then I'd recommend considering Netfort solutions."
 

Cons

"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"Our experience has been that UIM does not do discovery well."
"Scalability for redundant data centers is challenging."
"I would like to see the retirement of the heavy client (infrastructure manager) in favor of the web-based admin console. It is close, but it is not there yet."
"Its integration to CA's SOI (manager of manager), the out of the box connector release by CA is disappointing."
"Technical support was not the best. We could use more."
"The licensing cost is several hundred thousand dollars a year, and we're only getting several hundred dollars' worth of value since we're doing basic stuff."
"Support from the vendor has generally been rather slow and ineffective, at least in our case."
"It takes a long time to load results. I think it would be great if they fix the slowness issue in the next release."
"Sure, at the time we bought the product, the GUI and graphs/reports/pie charts etc ... were not fully developed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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