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 feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"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."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"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."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"It is simple."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"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."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"They need a little more self-service."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"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."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
