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 most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"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 easy to navigate."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"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."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"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."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"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."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"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 improve their support process and add chat."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
