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."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"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."
"I would like to see improved index shifting."
"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."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"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."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
