VB
Enterprise Solution Architect at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Helps design blueprints in a cloud environment but the support is a major problem
One of the major problems is that support is not so good. I used to have a support expert in Spain but they left two years ago. BMC doesn't invest a lot in network automation but network automation is a major point in CLM. There aren't any experts here in Europe, maybe they have in America, I don't know. The main problem is the support in Europe. We had a lot of problems with the people who got put on our cases. The agents that we were assigned to were not so capable. They wanted to replicate the problem. If you have an incident, it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot the problem. The incident support is not so good. The technicians don't know the platform well. BMC doesn't want to invest in CLM. Two years ago we had a lot of problems. Maybe BMC realized that CLM is an end of life product.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"Supports unattended installs and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning."
"We have many regions where more than 10000 servers are deployed, so it helps in patching and hardening of servers."
"Total build time has been reduced from four weeks to one week, then later to 24 hours."
"Allowing systems to be provisioned in a wide range of environments, such as Azure, AWS, or on-premise, reduces the level of training required as well as creates consistency across the board."
"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"With UIM, the ROI is way up there."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The primary benefit for us at this stage in our approach is that we've been able to cut outages by about 300%."
"We are transitioning to a proactive monitoring; by using thresholds and predictive analysis, we are reducing incidents."
"It’s easy to implement, a good solution for medium environments."
"One of the most valuable features would be the out-of-the-box capability; it's extremely capable from day one, not a lot of customization is required in order to implement it within your environment, and I think that's just a huge resource win from a time-measurement perspective."
"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."
"I enjoy the product; it has done everything that we expected it to do."
 

Cons

"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"Going to BMC for PS is not at all recommended from my experience."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"It was complex as it does not include a good, extensive feasibility and compatibility guide."
"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."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"Product stability and performance, especially in Linux environments needs to be improved."
"Cloud vendors have expanded their services and features and functions within their own platforms. Having to rely on a third-party to keep pace with that development cycle has proven rather disappointing."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"More HTML5, more flexibility, and reducing the number of screens, fewer mouse clicks, fewer mouse movements."
"One of the biggest areas to improve would be the training aspect."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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