We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It is easy to implement."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
