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.
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"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 most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"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."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Technical support is great."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
