Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.9
Catchpoint's 24/7 support is praised for quick response, accessibility, and professional services, but network response times need improvement.
Sentiment score
6.8
DX Unified Infrastructure Management support experiences vary, with improvements noted but concerns over slow escalation and talent loss remain.

They would literally write Playwright for you if you cannot get the element right.
Senior Software Engineer at Turing
The customer support for Catchpoint is really good; they get you on the call and will assist you if you are mixed up or blocked with some kind of coding.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Catchpoint scales effectively for SaaS, requires manual configuration for on-premise, and lacks cluster support in single-node deployments.

7.5
DX Unified Infrastructure Management scales well but requires careful planning for probes, database configurations, and integrations.
The migration part, especially onboarding a new application for monitoring, is seamless and does not require a lot of our effort and analysis.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

Room For Improvement

Catchpoint needs improvements in setup, user experience, navigation, API integration, pricing models, and international monitoring for better efficiency.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management needs improved support, monitoring, interface, integration, stability, training, automation, and a revised pricing model.
This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.
Technical Consultant Project Lead at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
There is no auto-tuning for alerts, so auto-tuning features for alerts would be beneficial.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial.
Solution Architect at SA Consulting
 

Setup Cost

Catchpoint pricing varies and is consumption-based, favoring large enterprises but can be costly for smaller organizations.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management's pricing is flexible and cost-effective but complex, with higher costs offset by tailored features.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the pricing is good, and the licensing is also good.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is always a need to negotiate a bit more to get the best cost for the licenses we plan to buy.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
you just need to buy the licenses, and the team sends you the license keys, which is pretty easy.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The pricing of DX Unified Infrastructure Management is high and often a concern for customers.
Solution Architect at SA Consulting
 

Valuable Features

Catchpoint offers synthetic monitoring, user-friendly dashboards, early issue detection, and global visibility, enhancing performance and reducing downtime.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers scalability, ease of use, integration, predictive analytics, and customizable reporting for efficient network monitoring.
Catchpoint helps us detect issues before anybody could report them, which can impact clients because it provides prior monitoring that also sees outside the infrastructure.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Out of those features, the hop-by-hop breakdown of BGP peers is the one that made the biggest difference in my work because I have not seen this feature in others.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The alerting functionality in Catchpoint provides value. We configure thresholds for response times and failures so that our operations team could be notified whenever authentication failed, APIs became unavailable, or page performance degraded beyond acceptable limits.
Senior Software Engineer at Turing
DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels.

Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Proactive synthetic monitoring has reduced major incidents and provides global user experience insights
One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications. If an application depends upon MFA for its login flow, Catchpoint doesn't have the ability to bypass or monitor that flow for multi-factor authentication. This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA. This is one of the major areas needing improvement. Otherwise, Catchpoint has been one of the greatest tools in the synthetic monitoring or digital experience monitoring space, and I don't see anything else right now, but MFA is something that certainly needs some improvement.

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.
