We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"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."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"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 capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
