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."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The fault management is perfect."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"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 quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"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 solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"It is simple."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"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."
"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."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They need a little more self-service."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
