CA UIM At a Glance

  • Server performance can be done exceptionally well with UIM. It monitors various OS flavors: POSIX (Aix, HPUX, Linux, Solaris, zLinux), and Windows.
  • With just a handful of probe s(CDM, NTevl, NTservices, NTperf, processes, logmon) your dashboards can be populated within minutes after installation of the product and discovering servers. One particular feature I like is MCS which allows you to perform template based monitoring which allows for implementing standards and including exceptions.
  • The SNMP collector monitors anything that is SNMP capable. With the ability to build a template out of templates here as well, you can standardize monitoring by device, vendor, or model regardless of device type: routers, switches, storage, load balancers, etc.
  • The UMP is the presentation layer. Without OOTB dashboards, you see quickly how your environment is performing. And with true multi-tenancy, you can separate data by customer.
  • True HTML views without dependency on Shockwave. Shockwave tends to crash which causes the user to have to reload the screen. Doesn't happen often but can be annoying.
  • Discovery via AD - I saw a competitors product with this feature and thought it was a great addition; would be a value add in my opinion.
  • Nimble is gaining a lot of market share; it will be good to see probe support for the device.

  • Web interface has both great form and function. I've noticed the capabilities of what you can do via the web interface is getting closer and closer to that of IM's thick client.
  • Deployment of probes and configuration packages is literally drag and drop. Quite easy to use and scale.
  • I'd like to see improvements in inventory management. Currently node management isn't as efficient as I'd like.
  • I also see a big opportunity to offer greater customization in the Detail Tab. I'd like the ability to pick and chose which metrics are displayed by default in the Detail Tab snapshot.

  • Industry leading element correlation and metric discovery
  • Proven message bus platform allowing outstanding performance
  • Segregated dashboard views and client workspaces built on top of powerful LifeRay portal technology
  • Advanced probes for AWS Cloud and Nutanix
  • Advanced correlative views for hybrid infrastructures containing localized and cloud infrastructures
  • Looking forward to the removal of Flash based elements
  • Out of the box views still a bit dated and require updates to QOS to turn on all the views
  • Inability to manually rename a CI from the portal
