Monitoring has provided factual end‑to‑end insights and supports proactive incident response
From using HPE Aruba Networking UXI, I have access to real numbers for latency, packet drops, and other metrics. We also have a pretty intensive alerting mechanism that works on specific IPs for all our sites that are pinging, so if they are not reachable, we will have an alert and an incident created. I assess the value of HPE Aruba Networking UXI's application visibility in enhancing network performance as great. HPE Aruba Networking UXI's remote troubleshooting capabilities help me manage my distributed networks in a great way because we are not relying on user input. We are relying on real facts from HPE Aruba Networking UXI devices that are placed end-of-line on all our factories.

Proactive analytics have improved device performance and optimized disk space and support workflows
Nexthink offers many features, with the best being Flow, which encompasses almost everything. We have Nexthink Workspace and Spark, allowing integration with Teams so users can find solutions without going to the service desk, rectifying issues in chat. Nexthink Infinity has brought a lot of benefits to us. There has been a very good change from integration. Integrating ServiceNow with Nexthink automates problem ticket and incident generation, enabling the team to proactively know the kinds of problem statements we are receiving. For the integration with Teams, we have not completed it yet, but we are in the planning phase, and once done, we will observe the results. Nexthink has the capability of integrating with most third-party applications, which is a great feature. With the remediation actions we have in Nexthink, it has provided great self-heal capabilities along with proactiveness. By looking at the dashboards and identifying problem statements, we can share this information with the end-user computing teams to fix issues. Nexthink has significantly helped us enhance our DEX score from 74 to 80. When I talk about features that led to the improvement of our score from 74 to 80, there were earlier issues with device performance and reliability not being addressed. Noting these, we identified devices lacking free disk space and low RAM capacity contributing to high memory usage or excessive CPU usage. Disabling unnecessary startup applications brought us to a new DEX score of almost 80.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Aruba products have significantly improved our network reliability, as none of my teammates have logged a call to Aruba in the past year."
"HPE Aruba Networking UXI's remote troubleshooting capabilities help me manage my distributed networks in a great way because we are not relying on user input and are relying on real facts from HPE Aruba Networking UXI devices that are placed end-of-line on all our factories."
"There was definitely an ROI with the use cases I have had; when you see that the network issues and trouble tickets that are opening start to decrease, that is where your ROI starts coming in regarding productivity."
"The most valuable feature of HP Aruba Networking UX-I is its 24/7 monitoring capability."
"The performance, elasticity, and efficiency of Aruba products have been exceptional."
"The integration of HPE Aruba Networking UXI with other security and networking tools is quite robust, allowing us to collect information from firewalls, routers, access points, and more, and present it through Grafana to proactively address issues before clients open support tickets."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Overall, I would recommend Nexthink as a first priority and rate it ten out of ten."
"Nexthink is valuable for showing real-time data."
"Number of service incidents dropped by more than 20%."
"The auto building capability has been most valuable. It keeps on checking the system in terms of various factors like battery, memory usage and application usage."
"This is a proactive management tool and we make use of the metrics, dashboard creation and complete remote actions on end user machines."
"Nexthink has positively impacted my organization by reducing handle times, reducing ticket volumes, improving employee experience of software, workstation replacements, battery replacements, alerting users about password expiration, any upcoming changes, project changes, targeted campaigns, and more."
"The search engine functionality that Nexthink has on the finder is terrific."
 

Cons

"Some manual administrative tasks still need to be triggered manually, leading to lower efficiency."
"It would be beneficial if the tool offered a less expensive subscription as it is currently costly for our clients."
"Some manual administrative tasks still need to be triggered manually, leading to lower efficiency."
"There could be improvements in monitoring user sentiments."
"I would like it if they could put in some patch deployments and compliances."
"We need some guidance from the Nexthink team on some of the new features they are releasing and how best to use them."
"Nexthink could have better integration with ITSM tools - at the moment, they only integrate with ServiceNow, so adding other tools, like HP SMAX, would be very useful."
"The solution could use better automation and less coding. Since I am part of the administrative background, I'm not completely into the development side. I'm not well versed in coding."
"We would like to see the reporting in this solution improved. At present there are gaps in the data it reports."
"The stability of this solution could be greatly improved to avoid performance issues."
"The NQL script and default templates for creating remote actions are quite complex and require time to adapt."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I have seen it help improve the user experience scores. This helped clients to save costs on another tool that they were trying to deploy in order to improve the user experience by just deploying some scripts. We were able to identify the issues and help them remediate those using our help. The process does not take much time and it provided background on end user performance. Therefore, they were able to save a lot, e.g., for approximately 50,000 endpoints at two dollars per machine per year, that is about $100,000 in savings."
"There are certain layers when it comes to pricing. The product has three layers and these layers are associated with certain sources. For example, the top layer have the premium services and the bottom layer has the basic services."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-use."
"With this implementation of the Act and Engage module, I believe that there is a one-time fee for a two-month period, which is for the support team to make additional customizations."
"Nexthink can pay for itself quickly if you identify and complete the most valuable use cases. The tool can do so much that to purely compare the price in a static way to other tools in your arsenal would be a mistake. If you do a more dynamic comparison that’s based on the overall functionality and use cases possible then it comes out cheaper. You need to consider it a relative measurement against potential use cases, size of the organization, maturity of organization, etc."
