Find out what your peers are saying about NetAlly, Wireshark, Auvik and others in Network Troubleshooting."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The fault management is perfect."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"The platform is complicated to use."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
