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.

The setup is straightforward, but t​he satellite service installation file could be separated from the server one.
* The status overview page provides a state of computers monitored and provides quickly what users need to focus on * The satellite service installed on remote computers is an easy way to add clients, plus it's easy to deploy and to configure * The licence is perpetual and not linked to one computer, so it's possible to remove a licence from one computer and use it on another with no extra cost

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ROI is very quick, and the information is extremely valuable for businesses."
"Again, I can not say enough the cohesiveness of the product; it's not multiple different piecemeal products that have to be configured to work together, it's all one product under the hood, and it does what it says it does."
"With UIM, the one thing I've learned is there's hundreds of ways of doing it and they're all right."
"We are using it to monitor all of our infrastructure, network devices, and applications across our datacenters in Europe, Americas, Mexico, and Asia."
"The most valuable feature for us are the way it brings silo products together that we've invested in over the years, and it allows us to consolidate our views for our customers."
"The second major feature is the user-friendly interface; it's the best feature for our customers, because we are the implementers of the software."
"With acquired experience, the product can do almost everything a monitoring product should do, but it is not all out of the box."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"The satellite service installed on remote computers is an easy way to add clients, plus it's easy to deploy and to configure the licence is perpetual and not linked to one computer, so it's possible to remove a licence from one computer and use it on another with no extra cost"
"The possibility to develop your own VB scripts."
 

Cons

"Technical support was not the best. We could use more."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Customer Service: Poor when compared to other CA groups I have worked with. Technical Support: First line - excellent. Getting beyond first line - a battle."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet."
"They should further test their probe development. If we add a probe to pick out certain metrics from a particular platform, it’s not easy and there are some issues."
"It needs more report capabilities; things that make it easier to find them. It needs a central, global, point of view for inventory."
"Technical support is OK. It varies depending on issues."
"The satellite service installation file could be separated from the server one. It would reduce the size of the file, and reduce the time to deploy on weak connections."
"Basic monitoring on Unix was working really well but it didn't really help under machines in Windows Domain Controller."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"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."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
