Overall Satisfaction with Broadcom Unified Infrastructure Management, formerly from CA

Broadcom Unified Infrastructure Management, which was originally called Nimsoft, is an infrastructure monitoring tool that has been on the market for quite a long time. I have been using this tool to monitor mostly all types of infrastructure components such as servers, applications, databases, network devices like routers, switches, firewalls, storage appliances like EMC boxes, etc. This tool gives you centralized control to monitor the entire infrastructure components via a single dedicated window.
  • Agent based monitoring
  • Database monitoring
  • Server monitoring
  • Agentless monitoring
  • Web console
  • Custom dashboards
  • 3rd party integrations
  • Easy implementation.
  • Good customer support.
  • Old tool in the market so a lot of expertise and documentation is available.
Broadcom Unified Infrastructure Management gives you an extremely easy implementation facility whether it is the core application, reporting hubs, or agents. Apart from that, it has extremely good customer support. The documentation with respect to each component is really good. You can follow the documentation for implementation to the configuration of monitoring.

Would you buy Broadcom DX Unified Infrastructure Management again?

Yes

Broadcom Unified Infrastructure Management can work extremely well in an environment where customers prefer an agent-based monitoring solution. However, it works pretty well for the entire infrastructure, but if a customer is looking for in-depth network monitoring, then it might not be able to provide complete coverage for all the types of network devices.
