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 tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"It is easy to navigate."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"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."
"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."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"It is simple."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"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."
"Power packs."
"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."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"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."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"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."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
