"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."

"The dashboards need to be improved."

"We would like to see automatic network topology."

"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"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."

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

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

"CAD $400,000 annually."
