Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software 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."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"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."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"It is easy to navigate."
"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."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The company provides excellent service."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"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."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
