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."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"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."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"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."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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 platform is complicated to use."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
