"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"It's quite a mature solution."

"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."

"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts.

"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."

"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
