We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and New Relic 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 is easy to navigate."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The synthetic alert is the most valuable feature in New Relic APM. I also like the time travel feature and find traceability useful in the solution. New Relic APM also has good response times."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"The price could improve."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
"The price needs improvement."
"I would like to have storage monitoring. E.g., being able to monitor SANS, specifically protocols, like NFS and CIFS metrics."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"Some of our customers see New Relic as a promising product to have, and we would like to deliver it to them. The only way we would be able to do that would be if we had server appliance for clients that we could install in their data centres."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
