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."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"It is easy to navigate."
"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."
"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."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"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."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The power flow is great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"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."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"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..."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"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."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They need a little more self-service."
