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."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"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."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The power flow is great."
"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."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"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."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"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."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"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."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
