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."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"It is easy to navigate."
"I would like to see improved index shifting."
"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."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"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."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
