We performed a comparison between DX SaaS, DX Spectrum, and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Nexthink, Lakeside Software, Riverbed and others in Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)."DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"It supports numerous platforms."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"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."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"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."
"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 GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"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."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
