We performed a comparison between Dotcom-Monitor MetricsView Monitoring, DX Spectrum, and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"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."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The stability could be better."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
