Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support
There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

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

"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"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."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros
"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

"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​"
"Stability."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly."
More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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