Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."What is most useful is visibility."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"I can get it to run a report showing, for instance, what root drives are in the critical range in terms of being full, like 90 percent full, and disseminate that information to the other areas of the organization."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem."
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
