Nimsoft was a SaaS-based IT infrastructure and application monitoring and service-desk company, founded in 1998 as Nimbus Software in Oslo, Norway and later headquartered in Redwood City, California. Backed by Northzone and JMI Equity, it was acquired by CA Technologies in March 2010 for roughly $350 million, after which its products were folded into CA Unified Infrastructure Management (UIM). CA was in turn acquired by Broadcom in 2018, and the former Nimsoft monitoring capability now lives on as Broadcom DX Unified Infrastructure Management. The www.nimsoft.com domain today resolves to Broadcom infrastructure, and Nimsoft has no independent developer portal, public API, or OpenAPI surface of its own.
Nimsoft is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Monitoring, IT Operations, and Observability.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/nimsoft: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
