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.

It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change.
It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change It would be nice to have a centralized client-settings management. At the moment, the client settings have to be changed individually. I've used it since 2011. The deployment of the new server…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's allowed us to get better coverage with our monitoring and to consolidate all monitoring into one solution."
"The most valuable feature is the very large probe number, over 180, for different technologies, that all communicate their metrics through one product."
"Nimsoft shines like the sun compared to ProactiveNet with night and day differences in stability, scalability, functionality, features, and quality of support."
"For the past year, the tool has been quite stable in our environment, so I enjoy working with it."
"Basically, the most valuable feature for us is that the dashboard is easy to use as it aggregates all data."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"By getting an early warning about problems, services can have high availability and perform well."
"This is one of the best designed products for stability due to its message bus concept design which makes its hub lite in processing."
"It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write."
 

Cons

"It seems clunky, not as user friendly as Spectrum, for example."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We can't seem to get the products to work at all and we can't seem to find the mobile team to even talk to about it."
"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."
"One of the things we'd like to see is a more streamline and baseline reporting mechanism."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It needs more report capabilities; things that make it easier to find them. It needs a central, global, point of view for inventory."
"More HTML5, more flexibility, and reducing the number of screens, fewer mouse clicks, fewer mouse movements."
"Deploying an agent leaves much to be desired."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"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."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
