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 main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The integration point."
"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."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"It is simple."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"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."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution's stability 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."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"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 their support process and add chat."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
