Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"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."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The integration point."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"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..."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"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."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
