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.

Easy to set up with good documentation and helpful support
I'm using it for a customer The packet flow switch is the most valuable aspect of the solution.  It's an easy product to set up. We can scale the solution if we need to. It's stable.  The documentation is well-written and quite useful. It's compatible with other products.  Under the pocket flow…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"The most valuable feature is the very large probe number, over 180, for different technologies, that all communicate their metrics through one product."
"Not only are our internal processes simplified and enhanced by UIM but it also adds value to the services we provide to our customers."
"Again, I can not say enough the cohesiveness of the product; it's not multiple different piecemeal products that have to be configured to work together, it's all one product under the hood, and it does what it says it does."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"It has provided greater security for our most important asset which is the handling of information."
"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 most valuable features are, I would say, the flexibility and the performance."
"The most valuable features are speed and cost."
"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."
"It has cut our group's troubleshooting time down significantly, e.g., depending on the issue, what would normally take maybe a couple of hours will now take minutes."
"This solution has saved us hours (three to four) per problem when troubleshooting."
"This solution has cut our overall troubleshooting time, sometimes going down to a few hours over what might have taken one to two days to fully troubleshoot an issue, and it has helped to increase our application uptime as we try to keep the five nines."
"The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."
"If you are looking for a good application monitoring and packet analysis tool, you can strategically use NETSCOUT to get it done."
"We use it for monitoring whenever we update a new circuit or site."
 

Cons

"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"UIM supports AS400, but it is somewhat limited."
"One of the things I would like to see an improvement on is the ability to do mass deployment."
"The probes (basic components that can, amongst other things, monitor particular systems) can be buggy."
"It seems clunky, not as user friendly as Spectrum, for example."
"Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive."
"Support SLA for response and resolution is pathetic, even the quality of resolution is not up to the level of expectations."
"The solution is not great, but it is not bad."
"It can be scalable. It just costs too much."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."
"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement."
 

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 price is a little high."
"I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."
"This product could be cheaper."
"The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."
"It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."
"To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."
