Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"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."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"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."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
