"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"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."
"I like the single pane of glass view. I like being able to go to one place instead of having to hunt around for everything."
"This is a very reliable and complete solution for troubleshooting and monitoring environments."
"The most valuable features of this solution are monitoring and maintaining traffic queuing, as well as seeing who is using the bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature of NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE is the network troubleshooting analysis. You can pinpoint an issue before it could shut down the network."
"I like the single pane of glass view because it presents everything in one window, obviously. You can see it all. With a quick glance, you get a pretty good snapshot of what's going on in a particular situation."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"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..."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"They require a lot of manual effort as traffic flows, networks, and formal times change."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"In terms of additional features, I would like to see better event notification. Right now, we put in an email address to receive an alert and it receives every event and every alert that comes out. We need something a little more granular."
"Usability is the area with the biggest room for improvement. We've found that with NETSCOUT, while it's a fantastic product, the usability is a major factor because there are just way too many clicks. It's obvious, from our experience, that the people who are developing the product aren't using it."
"The GUI interface and dashboards could be more attractive to the customer."
