Great scalability, versatility, infrastructure coverage and ease of implementation

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. The number of people needed for deployment depends on the customer, but we usually need at least one person and two to three at other times. The initial implementation takes about two months. The full implementation can be infinite because you may want to implement more. The product does not require a lot of maintenance. To increase the implementation, we push additional services in the first and second years to make it more robust and fully implemented. We usually sell to big enterprises. It can also be affordable for smaller enterprises, but we don't work with them a lot. We have from 2,000 to 10,000 workers. So the product itself can have five, ten or even 20 users.

Real-time analytics and alerts improve application performance and network operations

OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless. Its real-time analytics, integrated with LiveNX, allow me to monitor business-critical applications and set up alerts for application performance issues. This centralized dashboard and alert system is highly valuable for maintaining network operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend DX Unified Infrastructure Management to others as it is a good and reliable solution."

"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."

"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."

"DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels."

"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."

"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."

"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."

"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless."

"The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."

"It's a solid piece of software. It's stable."

"The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot."

"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching."

Cons

"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."

"We would like to see automatic network topology."

"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."

"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."

"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."

"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."

"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."

"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."

"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."

"OmniPeek doesn't support Linux or Unix installations, which prompted the shift to Wireshark."

"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."

"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."

"The solution's automation has room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"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."

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."

"There are different types of licenses available."

"We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."
