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 integration point."
"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 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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"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."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"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."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"Power packs."
"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."
"The power flow is great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"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."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They need a little more self-service."
