Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"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."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
