We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and LogRhythm NetMon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"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."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"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."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
