"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"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."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The platform has good stability."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."

"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"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."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."

"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
