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."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"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."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"I would like to see improved index shifting."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"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."
"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."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"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."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
