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 presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The integration point."
"It is easy to navigate."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"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."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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..."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
