"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"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."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The solution is pretty stable."

"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
