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 stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"The fault management is perfect."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"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."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"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."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
