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.

Monitoring has become streamlined and now supports complex enterprise workloads across all clouds
My advice to others looking into using Power Admin PA Server Monitor is that they should examine it carefully as it is a very good product. It has many parameters that you can configure and it is very efficient in power savings. I gave this product a rating of 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe that the fundamentals and the logic of how UIM is set up is very stable, providing the essentials to extract data from an environment, present it through a front-end using graphs and charts, and allow for crucial analysis on the collected data, with UIM doing a good job of managing all the steps along the way."
"We have seen, over the last 4 or 5 years, about a 30% decrease in escalations in crisis management, less severity events because we are trending and tracking against thresholds so we get early warning alerts."
"It provides us with infrastructure availability and application availability."
"Technical support is great."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"The dashboards and reporting features help users have a close eye on the servers; the ability to notify users that something might go wrong if you do not pay attention to this alert helps us to avoid incidents."
"The most valuable features are, I would say, the flexibility and the performance."
"We gave them a tool that can give them everything they wanted, that they never had before."
"The satellite service installed on remote computers is an easy way to add clients, plus it's easy to deploy and to configure the licence is perpetual and not linked to one computer, so it's possible to remove a licence from one computer and use it on another with no extra cost"
"Power Admin PA Server Monitor is super friendly and easy to use, very efficient, and powerful."
"The possibility to develop your own VB scripts."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: Poor when compared to other CA groups I have worked with. Technical Support: First line - excellent. Getting beyond first line - a battle."
"Product stability and performance, especially in Linux environments needs to be improved."
"The major problem we have when we sell CA UIM is that we need to sell additional products because it doesn't cover all the features."
"There also seems to be a bug where the entire Nimsoft Server config gets corrupted during a reboot."
"There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"I would really like to see HTML5. I spoke with a couple of developers about it. I'd also like to see additional monitoring so we can push rules a little bit easier."
"We have products that we’re moving away from that have a better GUI and they’re 15 years old."
"Basic monitoring on Unix was working really well but it didn't really help under machines in Windows Domain Controller."
"The satellite service installation file could be separated from the server one. It would reduce the size of the file, and reduce the time to deploy on weak connections."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
