"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 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."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The power flow is great."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"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."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"Power packs."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"They need a little more self-service."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"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."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
