Automated recovery has minimized downtime and supports seamless multi‑datacenter failover
Beyond pricing, there are areas where I would like to see InfoScale improved or enhanced. Veritas offers three management approaches. The first, which Veritas currently recommends, is Veritas Operation Manager. The second is the Cluster Manager Java Console graphical interface. The Cluster Manager Java Console has not been revised since version 6.1 or 6.2. This tool was critical for me, particularly valuable when managing small cluster footprints of 20 to 30 server nodes. I relied heavily on this tool, but Veritas has moved away from it in favor of Operation Manager. I recommend Veritas continue evolving this tool rather than discarding it. The third approach is the command line, suitable for individuals with extensive Veritas expertise and experience, but command line use in live environments consumed excessive time, leading me to prefer the graphical interface. Apart from pricing, I have not discovered disadvantages. The product is excellent. My concern is Veritas discarding the Cluster Manager Java Console in favor of Veritas Operation Manager. Setting up Operation Manager requires time and a dedicated server that runs continuously. I had to create a single server just for Veritas Operation Manager. While this works well for larger environments with hundreds of clusters, it is less useful for smaller deployments. I still recommend Veritas reconsider this application and evolve it by incorporating new features from Veritas Operation Manager. Adding these new features to the Java console would be beneficial because that tool runs on my laptop without consuming environment resources, and I can connect directly to clusters from my laptop. I am not opposing Veritas Operation Manager, which is excellent and resembles hardware management consoles for power machines, but smaller tools that previously performed these tasks should remain as options to provide clients with greater ease. From a features and functionality perspective, I do not find missing features in InfoScale at this moment. However, I am not actively using Veritas, managing only legacy machines on older hardware. I am upgrading operating systems but not Veritas due to contract expiration and end-of-life status. The contract is not being renewed because the customer wants to move away. Since I have not logged into VCS since 2021 and transferred responsibilities to another team, I am unaware of features arriving in version 8 or beyond and cannot comment specifically on recent Veritas introductions.

Our process efficiency has improved by having all the information in one place, which has reduced manpower
The product is great. We integrated the ticketing tool with the monitoring tool. The agent ID creation is very easy when using this tool. It is so user-friendly. The user interface is good and also the pricing is great. The user interface is good, even a business user or layman can raise a ticket. They provide an all-in-one monitoring tool. If an issue happens, it gets integrated with the email, then proactively that ticket is being raised, which is good. The reporting is good. It is very clear. It is a customized report; however you want it, you can customize it. We use the solution’s role-based dashboards. The head of IT wants to use it so he can see holistically what is happening, e.g., what are the tickets being raised, what is a major issue, and what escalations are happening. There are different dashboards that are customized. For our head of IT, we made a separate dashboard. Then, for the executives, we made a separate dashboard based on time, like hourly or daily. All these reports were customized. While they didn't provide a BI dashboard, they provide a kind of graphical dashboard for whatever the issue is. Once you click on a particular ticket, it drills down to the issue, what it is and when the issue was raised. The drill down is good. It is more like a business intelligence (BI) tool. You can just scroll and zoom in. It goes deep into the issue. Once you click a particular dashboard, it will take you to the next page, then it takes you to the issue. Infraon IMS provides workflow automation for real-world use cases. This makes our work easier. It is just drag and drop (no coding) to build the workflows. For example, a particular ticket is being raised. It gets routed to three important IT executives within our team. From our team, it gets routed to the next level. The learning curve is good. Initially, there were no issues. As soon as the users saw the product, they understood what the product was. There wasn't any kind of training required for this product because it is very straightforward.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature in InfoScale is the file system, which is the greatest feature as you can get any storage LUN from any hardware because it's software-defined and create a volume that can consist of storage from two or more different vendors, which avoids any vendor lock-in and makes it easier when you expand as time goes."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"Over the last two years, we did not experience any application failover or receive alerts due to the immediate switchover mechanism in active-active mode that ensures no downtime, helping us significantly with confidence and trust in our organization."
"It offers High Availability for many applications, including Oracle and SAP environment."
"It's a stable solution."
"The best feature is that it supports high availability and automatic failover, which minimizes downtime and helps the environment reduce downtime and improve high availability for critical applications."
"From a recovery standpoint, InfoScale is excellent and easy to manage."
"InfoScale does that all by itself without any dependency on different solutions."
"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."
"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."
"It is a stable product; after the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much, and all systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."
"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."
"The role-based dashboards provide data points and charts and topology diagrams in a single window. It's like a spider web, where the application, connectivity, and everything is defined for each user of those applications."
"Once we installed this central system, our site engineers who provide the data started believing in the data's accuracy."
"With Infraon, everything is already built-in so you are able to plug-and-play with the system."
"We have definitely seen ROI since we first implemented Infraon, three years ago, as it has given us clarity and helped us with compliance during audits."
 

Cons

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that pricing is a little higher and should be reduced since most companies cannot afford it."
"The primary concern is licensing cost, as the customer is unwilling to invest further and has begun cost-cutting measures."
"Many customers can see the benefit of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to purchase the product because the license cost is very high."
"It could be more stable and more secure."
"Based on my experience with support, I would rate them a nine, only because occasionally the first person I talk to does not know more than I do and it needs to be escalated to reach someone more knowledgeable."
"It's very difficult to implement."
"Many customers can see the benefits of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to buy the products and solutions because of the licensing costs."
"While InfoScale is mainly used by enterprise-level customers, it does not inherently support many applications, which presents a scalability issue."
"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."
"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."
"Technical support could use some improvement in terms of their response times and diagnostic accuracy."
"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."
"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."
"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."
"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."
"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our clients pay for licensing on a yearly basis."
"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."
"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."
"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."
"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."
"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."
"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."
