Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications 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."
"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"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."
"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 presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"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."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
