"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"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."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"Power packs."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"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."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"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..."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"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 must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
