We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey, DX Spectrum, and OneTouch AT Network Assistant based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetAlly, Wireshark, Auvik and others in Network Troubleshooting."I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"Customer service is great."
"The benefit is with the ease of use of the software, I am able to show the customer, "Here is what your wireless coverage looks like." It is set up in a fashion that non-technical people can understand it."
"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."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"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 product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The fault management is perfect."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"OneTouch is easy to set up. You just plug it in, enter your details, and off you go. It only takes a few minutes as long as you've got Link-Live access or network access."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"It would be nice to have some more training resources for younger techs. We can use them if we need some assistance, but that usually requires one of us who knows what we're doing to calibrate the programs properly."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"It is also limited in the number of IP targets you can test. If you want to test how many hops or different sites, you should be able to hit a test button and say, "Right then, test these 20 IP addresses to see if I can reach them." It only does up to 10. Most of NetAlly's other devices, like the G2, can do unlimited addresses."
