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 covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"The integration point."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"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."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"It is simple."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The power flow is great."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"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."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
