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."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"I would like to see improved index shifting."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"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."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
