Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."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."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"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."
"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."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It has high stability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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..."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"The security should be improved."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
