Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster. The solution also reduces troubleshooting time for network administrators to pinpoint issues quicker."
"We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some 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..."
"The solution's stability needs 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."
"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."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
