We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and OpenText Operations Bridge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The fault management is perfect."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"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."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"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."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
