We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"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."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It is very scalable."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
