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 most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"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."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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 visual is a little archaic."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
