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 main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The fault management is perfect."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"Power packs."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"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..."
"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."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"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."
"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."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
