We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"It gave us one location, one place to do all of group administration, and to build dashboards, and device administration, inventory counts... it really reduced our overall administrative overhead."
"When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue."
"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."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"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. "
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"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."
"DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool."
"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."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"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."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
