We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps 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."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"Scalability is the reason we bought the product to begin with. It was designed from the ground up for carrier-grade services, and we are in effect a MSP ourselves. So we were really interested in looking at something to be able to handle the multi-tenancy and scale as large as possible. This was the only solution that we really considered at that level."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"The capability where not only the traditional SNMP information is captured but also the netflow data; who is consuming the data on the WAN, and voice-related information, is helpful. The voice quality makes it very easy for first- and second-line operators to see where the issue is, and who is impacted."
"There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."
"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 integration point."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."
"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"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 better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"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..."
