Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software 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 fault management is perfect."
"The integration point."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"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."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"Health and communication links availability."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"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."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"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..."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"It could be more stable."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
