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.

Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend the concept if it is something you are looking for."
"This product is very flexible for the administrator; we can do whatever we want, and it is easily customizable and upgradable."
"There really is no perfect monitoring tool, CA UIM is really the best of breed if you need monitoring for all Operating Systems and a large list of diverse applications."
"The primary benefit for us at this stage in our approach is that we've been able to cut outages by about 300%."
"Through action automation (using NAS and robot actions) we got reduced operational effort, improved operative tasks, and optimization of resources."
"It is very reliable and easy to implement."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Support has been very responsive to our requests."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
 

Cons

"It seems clunky, not as user friendly as Spectrum, for example."
"The UIM product is playing catch-up. They are not there yet to do a lot of the next-level things that we need them to do."
"The main complaint with the tool is we are attempting to migrate off of SCOM and the management packs that SCOM has for Exchange (ED and SharePoint) it does not look like UIM and can't necessarily compete with those."
"Reporting capability - We're unable to drill down to the specific data that we'd like. We're also not able to get some data, such as trends, that we want when trying to determine root causes of issues in our applications."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"Improvements could be made to the reporting and analytics features. The OOB report templates and analytics can be improved."
"I would like to see the retirement of the heavy client (infrastructure manager) in favor of the web-based admin console. It is close, but it is not there yet."
"We have products that we’re moving away from that have a better GUI and they’re 15 years old."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"Good system management is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The price of this product is fair."
