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."
"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 is easy to navigate."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"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."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"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."
"Power packs."
"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."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"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."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"The visual is a little archaic."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"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."
"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."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
