Manager, SAP Basis at The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company
Can be fine-tuned as required, provides real-time data but lacks sufficient machine learning capability
In terms of machine learning, there are a few areas that can be improved including short terms in the SAP system. Currently, it requires a team member to manually read the short term and then assign it to a team rather than having it assigned automatically. A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values. Another issue is that identical recurring problems create duplicate tickets rather than showing them as repeats. They also need to do some kernel updates which I believe they're working on but I haven't seen it yet; I'm hoping the solution will be completely automated. I would like to see more on the machine-learning front and to have some third-party tools.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Deployment was amazingly short and simple; I do not think I have seen any SAP-related product installs ready to work so fast, and out-of-box it included most of the functions and settings that we needed."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"I definitely recommend this solution, it provides good value for money."
"It's just very user-friendly, and it's very easy to monitor the servers using Avantra."
"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"It prevented two major failures in our SAP production systems."
"The dashboards and reporting features help users have a close eye on the servers; the ability to notify users that something might go wrong if you do not pay attention to this alert helps us to avoid incidents."
"If you need an all-in-one solution that's easy to maintain, to scale and that you can rely on - Nimsoft Monitor is a good solution."
"Consolidated multiple enterprise monitoring tools into a single toolset (Nimsoft) and reduced staff required to support the enterprise."
"We are able to configure alert by client requirements and can see those alert with a lot of detail."
"UIM is easy to use and configure and easy to implement and to get up and running out of the box."
"The most valuable feature are the data gathering capabilities, metrics, and being able to publish those."
"Not only are our internal processes simplified and enhanced by UIM but it also adds value to the services we provide to our customers."
"As I have worked on this product for quite some time I personally think this product is the best in terms of overall infrastructure monitoring."
 

Cons

"A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"I think they can improve their UI, while very intuitive, I would like to see graphic updates."
"The dashboard needs to improve; it's not so clear right now and we need it to be more usable so we can have all of our reports in one easy-to-access place."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"They should further test their probe development. If we add a probe to pick out certain metrics from a particular platform, it’s not easy and there are some issues."
"Integration with other tools."
"The automated discovery tools have come a long way in the past few years, but it would be nice if that same tool could also pull systems configuration information as well."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"There are potential issues with the flexibility for the number of devices that we have because the scalability-performance issue is not fully vetted."
"Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
