Solution Architect at SA Consulting
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.

Head of IT at Bulkhaul Limited
Has improved threat detection and reduced manual workload through real-time cloud insights
ThreatSync+ NDR has helped identify potential security gaps in my network, and we are currently working on resolving them. The impact on incident response time varies. During daytime operations, it reacts instantly with a notification delay of 10 to 20 minutes, while nighttime notifications can have up to eight hours delay. ThreatSync+ NDR has enhanced our ability to proactively manage network risks by enabling us to implement extra measures at a lower level based on its findings. The compliance reporting tools are comprehensive and meet our requirements. Though we haven't conducted official compliance reporting yet, we anticipate it will save approximately one day of work in report compilation. Regarding pricing, WatchGuard rates a nine out of ten. We maintain 1,001 licenses for ThreatSync+ NDR, serving approximately 1,000 users, with about 300 local users in the UK. ThreatSync+ NDR's effectiveness in identifying weaknesses before exploitation is excellent and very quick. I recommend ThreatSync+ NDR to other users based on its rapid deployment and immediate value delivery. I rate ThreatSync+ NDR 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CA UIM meets all of these at a less expensive price than the other large vendors."
"The main feature for us is its flexibility with their message bus and their API to make it do what you need it to do, since everyone's different."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"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."
"The most valuable features are trending and analysis, and I also like the predictability of the systems, baselines, and that it can prevent an outage before it happens."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The CA tools allow me to get into detailed transactions for custom ranking, and be able to make predictions."
"CA UIM comes out on top very often as it excels in all four of the above criteria, and is also easy to deploy and comparably simple to operate."
"Implementing ThreatSync+ NDR has influenced our business significantly as it provides enhanced security and saves several hours daily by eliminating manual log reviews."
"ThreatSync NDR is a strong addition to our company's security architecture."
 

Cons

"UIM is showing its age, and needs a major overhaul to keep up with competitors."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Improvements could be made to the reporting and analytics features. The OOB report templates and analytics can be improved."
"Overall, I’d say they’re fairly good. I think when compared to a couple of years ago, support has gone down a bit rather than up."
"Yes, we did encounter on some stability issues earlier."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"The NAS probe has a performance issue. When there is huge number of incoming events, NAS fails to process them."
"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 are definitely areas for improvements in ThreatSync NDR, as no product is perfect. Its effectiveness depends on proper network visibility, so if important traffic segments are not mirrored or monitored, detection may be incomplete."
"After using ThreatSync+ NDR for about a year, areas for improvement include the ability to pull logs from other vendors using an API."
 

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."
"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)."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
