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 does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"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 is easy to navigate."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"Power packs."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The power flow is great."
"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."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"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 CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"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."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"The product is not user-friendly."
