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 more efficient and resource usage has dropped significantly
VictoriaMetrics is built with memory constraints in mind, and we saved a significant amount of memory after implementing it. The first advantage is that it is quite easy to use, and we can leverage PromQL queries in VictoriaMetrics with a straightforward deployment process. The best aspect of using VictoriaMetrics is the reduction in resources including RAM, memory, disk, and other infrastructure requirements, which have all decreased substantially after implementation. We observed that RAM was reduced by around 70% and disk usage by 75%, while write speed increased 3x and query per second P95 latency became 7x faster. The financial savings are significant because we observed a substantial reduction in resources such as CPU and memory after adopting VictoriaMetrics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It provides us with infrastructure availability and application availability."
"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."
"The application allows our NOC operators a very fast response time for issues on our clients systems, and by utilizing the alarm and ticketing system we are able to validate the alarm and begin working on the issue sometime before the client even knows there is a situation."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"We use it for monitoring our infrastructure; I think it's a great product that really brings it into the 21st century of Web UI, with this latest version bringing more of that HTML5 interface in and really stepping it up to be a great, easy-to-use, quick UI."
"We observed that RAM was reduced by around 70% and disk usage by 75%, while write speed increased 3x and query per second P95 latency became 7x faster."
 

Cons

"There are potential issues with the flexibility for the number of devices that we have because the scalability-performance issue is not fully vetted."
"It was complex, due to the configuration that we already had with another tool, implementing everything again took us longer than planned; it really is a difficult tool to configure, specifically in our infrastructure."
"Our experience has been that UIM does not do discovery well."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"Although the products is easy to deploy, the implementation effort is still inconsistent."
"Yes, we did encounter on some stability issues earlier."
"The fresh technology should have been out a long time ago, but it appears to be we're catching up on the UIM, because Microsoft basically says they are not going to support the fresh, starting next year."
"UIM does have a large initial learning curve for new users, and you must learn the basic architecture."
"The main area that needs improvement in VictoriaMetrics is the documentation itself, as the support is adequate and the open-source project does provide replies within one to two days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"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."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
