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.

Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Really good. Very, very good. I got nothing but nice things to say about them."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"We are able to respond quicker to incidents."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
 

Cons

"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"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 UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​"
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly."
"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."
"The fresh technology should have been out a long time ago, but it appears to be we're catching up on the UIM, because Microsoft basically says they are not going to support the fresh, starting next year."
"Web GUI (WASP) should be further developed as in some cases it has issues and instabilities."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"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."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"It's very expensive."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
