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.

A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"I would recommend DX Unified Infrastructure Management to others as it is a good and reliable solution."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"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."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
 

Cons

"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Stability."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
