We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and ScienceLogic 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."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"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."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"It is simple."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"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."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
