"Content filtering, security layer, and application customization features are the most valuable."
"The analytics are a great feature."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"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."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"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."
"Deployment is complicated."
"The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."
"I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing."
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."
"They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc."
"Citrix is more expensive than Horizon."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."
"The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"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."
