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 IT Infrastructure Monitoring 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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"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 monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"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."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"Stability."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
