Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"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."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"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."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"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..."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"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."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
