We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps 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."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"The integration to the other products that we use: NFA, we use ADA, we use Spectrum; and CAPM integrates all those into a single pane of glass."
"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."
"It gave us one location, one place to do all of group administration, and to build dashboards, and device administration, inventory counts... it really reduced our overall administrative overhead."
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."
"DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool."
"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."
"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"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."
