We performed a comparison between Dotcom-Monitor MetricsView Monitoring, DX Spectrum, and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."
"It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The integration point."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"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 quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."
"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."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"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."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"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."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"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."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"Real-time analytics is the major weakness of the SolarWinds NPM platform today. They've done a fantastic job enabling the collection of data. Users are now demanding the ability to generate their own graphs, views, and so on; all of this must be done by an admin today."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
