The vertical database loads faster than any other product available

We experience disconnections between the solutions own components. In the last five years, there have been many intermittent connection issues with the four components and we still don't know the reasons. The solution has issues when loading groups that have been created in the application interfaces. It would be nice to have a mobile application. In the current industry and technical word, the mobile phone is the only thing that is always in your hands. Other Broadcom products have mobile applications but the solution doesn't offer one. It would be great to view device parameters and view or download graphs from a mobile device.

Gives an overview of the entire infrastructure and helps with the optimization and capacity planning

It is not very easy, but it is also not very complex. You need good technical expertise to understand how to work with the product. The deployment duration depends on the scope of work. It depends on how much integration you need. This product can integrate with many other applications. It depends on whether you want to integrate or whether you want a standalone system. It depends on how many different systems you need to capture the data from. Do you want to integrate with a reporting product? Depending upon that, you have to decide. The product installation takes one or two days, but you need to define a use case for what you want to do after the installation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."

"Customer service is top-notch."

"I can get it to run a report showing, for instance, what root drives are in the critical range in terms of being full, like 90 percent full, and disseminate that information to the other areas of the organization."

"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."

"When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue."

"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."

"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."

"You can create intelligent alerts so you have enough time to replace the router or interface before it's full. The same is applicable for CBQoS channels."

More DX Performance Management pros

"Easy access to resources of our cloud."

"It helps to plan how you can scale up your environment, and it gives an overview of your entire infra."

Cons

"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."

"We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance."

"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."

"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."

"I have mixed feeling about the scalability. I feel like there are things which are being put into UIM right now that are not being included in Performance Center that we need to see in Performance Center. We are kind of being driven to buy UIM, and I can't justify it."

"It needs role-based administration."

"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."

"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."

More DX Performance Management cons

"It should have more reporting features. It will help in getting more reporting information."

"It needs to improve the capacity planning."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. "

"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."

"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."

"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."

"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."

"It depends on the agreement that you have with Micro Focus. It can be a year-based term. It can be perpetual, or it can be subscription-based. Depending upon whether you're looking for an annual or a multi-year contract, the pricing would vary. It also depends on whether you are looking for standard support or premium support."

What needs improvement with DX Performance Management?

Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved.
