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."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Technical support is great."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"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."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"I would like to see CA move Spectrum, Performance Manager, and some of their other tools moved to a SaaS based model. You see a lot of other manufacturers which are moving toward SaaS based models."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"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."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
