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."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"It is simple."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"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."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"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."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"They need a little more self-service."
