Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications 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 is an overall stable solution."
"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"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."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"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."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
