"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."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."

"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
