We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum, Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service, 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."The fault management is perfect."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"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."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
