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.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The valuable features are that it monitors our infrastructure, our servers, network devices, and applications proactively, helps us to prevent problems, and CA UIM tells us how to do that."
"The best features are scalability, versatility, infrastructure coverage and ease of implementation."
"If you have a highly heterogeneous environment, CA UIM has the best chance of supporting all of your platforms (including probes for more exotic ones)."
"In the past we would spend months in meetings with a new customer, defining what they wanted to monitor, and most of the time we would come back home to see if that was possible to do, however, with CA UIM, we can provide our clients with a predefined menu of items to collect, and we can select those faster and more efficiently."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"With some scripting we are able to integrate much better with our ticketing system."
"The most valuable features are, I would say, the flexibility and the performance."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Statseeker reduces the complexity of your network monitoring."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"Just recently, we were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"The most important feature is just the fact that it doesn't aggregate the information up, and I can look at detailed information going back quite a long time."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"I believe Statseeker has reduced the complexity of our network monitoring, providing real-time alerts and on-demand graphs that improve our network availability."
 

Cons

"The environment around UIM is sometimes complex and can cause some instability."
"Customer Service: 8/10. Technical Support: 6/10."
"Some aspects of it can be complex."
"Sometimes the stability is not what we expected, but it's really good still."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Being able to report on the monitoring configurations and find out where you differentiate from standards. If I've deployed 500 probes to monitor Oracle, and I want to know that they're all monitored the same, I have no way to do that now."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​"
"More HTML5, more flexibility, and reducing the number of screens, fewer mouse clicks, fewer mouse movements."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"I don't know that the solution has had much of an impact on the complexity of our network monitoring."
"Statseeker tech support was bad around 2-3 years ago."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"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 license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
