We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The fault management is perfect."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"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."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
