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 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."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"It is easy to navigate."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"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."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The power flow is great."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"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."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"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."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"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."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"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."
