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 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 understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"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."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Power packs."
"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."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"The power flow is great."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"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 solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"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."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"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."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"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."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
