We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The fault management is perfect."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"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."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"It is easy to navigate."
"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."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"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."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"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."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"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."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"The price has room for improvement."
