Featured Reviews

RamPrakash Ramar - PeerSpot reviewer
Monitor broadcast systems effectively with real-time data processing and insightful feedback
The solution will monitor data in real-time and can scale out well. For instance, in a television studio, I might deal with about three hundred pieces of equipment. However, in other sites, it can handle 200 to 2500 nodes that send data every second. The system efficiently processes and analyzes data to provide insightful feedback, such as pinpointing specific equipment errors. It also offers predictive analytics based on received data, rather than just storing it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"The most valuable feature of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."
"Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen."
"The solution will monitor data in real-time and can scale out well."
"It's user-friendly."
 

Cons

"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented."
"The system's complexity during installation could be reduced."
"We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
"This is a relatively expensive product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"DataMiner is an expensive solution and that is why many companies do not use it. Other solutions are less expensive."
