Find out in this report how the two Network Troubleshooting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"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."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The tool fits in your pocket, so it's easy to carry and you don't have to have a big bag of tools."
"The solution provides switch port and VLAN information."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss."
"The solution should improve cable testing."
