Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"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 containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"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."
"The fault management is perfect."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The scalability is good."
"Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them."
"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."
"The varied prebuilt feature is the most valuable because it ensures that we have complete coverage over all of the key questions."
"Splunk Enterprise Security comes with 300 pre-deployed use cases that can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of our organization, without the need to purchase additional tools."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."

"Not even Splunk's support guy, who came to our firm, could help with defining proper role management."
"The product must improve insider threat detection."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"Its setup is a little bit complex for a distributed environment. Their support can also be better. If we miss the response for more than a week, they usually close the case. Sometimes, it can take us more than a week to reply."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
