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 capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"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."
"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."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"The power flow is great."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"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."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"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."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"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."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
