We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"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."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"I would like to see CA move Spectrum, Performance Manager, and some of their other tools moved to a SaaS based model. You see a lot of other manufacturers which are moving toward SaaS based models."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"The product is not user-friendly."
