"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."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"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 quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"It is easy to navigate."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"Versa Director's best feature is the ease of configuration and customer and vendor management."
"The most valuable feature of Versa Director is analytics."
"The most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful."
"Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"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."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"Versa could be more AI-oriented."
"It requires some simplification."
"What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good."
"Versa Director's deployment process is not the best."
