Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The most valuable feature of this solution is the fact that it sends me canned reports. It's easy to use and easy to update."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"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."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The fault management is perfect."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"I would like to see improved index shifting."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"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."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
