Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It is very scalable."
"Technical support is great."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"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."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
