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 Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"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."
"The power flow is great."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"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."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
