"The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency."
"The analytics are a great feature."

"The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The integration point."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that."
"Deployment is complicated."
"I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing."
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."
"They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc."
"Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports."
"The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"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."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"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."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
