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."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"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."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"It is simple."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see CA move Spectrum, Performance Manager, and some of their other tools moved to a SaaS based model. You see a lot of other manufacturers which are moving toward SaaS based models."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"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."
"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."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"They need a little more self-service."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
