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

"The capability where not only the traditional SNMP information is captured but also the netflow data; who is consuming the data on the WAN, and voice-related information, is helpful. The voice quality makes it very easy for first- and second-line operators to see where the issue is, and who is impacted."

"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."

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

"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."

"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."

"The integration to the other products that we use: NFA, we use ADA, we use Spectrum; and CAPM integrates all those into a single pane of glass."

"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."

"The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."

More DX Performance Management pros

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

"Easy access to resources of our cloud."

Cons

"This solution is not very scalable."

"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."

"I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part."

"The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data."

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

"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."

"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "

"Some of the individual report views, the way some of the columns sort, there's room for improvement in giving us more flexibility in being able to sort reports based, for example, on what columns the metrics fall under."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
