"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"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."
"The integration point."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."
