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."Content filtering, security layer, and application customization features are the most valuable."
"The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency."
"We use the product for load balancing and as a reverse proxy solution."
"Just one solution can handle thousands of users... So, it is a very convenient tool to use."
"The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment."
"We like the periodic upgrades and backups, also made via ADMs, and it makes our environment much more robust and reliable."
"Available on any device and can be accessed on a wide area network."
"An essential component is the Director, which provides detailed insights into sessions, including identifying session failures, connection issues, user lockouts, etc. It presents a list of problems to address, enabling you to click on them and resolve them efficiently."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"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 fault management is perfect."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."
"Deployment is complicated."
"They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc."
"Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports."
"The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."
"I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing."
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."
"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."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"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."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
