DX Spectrum Reviews

I have been involved in implementing DX Spectrum for financial institutions, such as banks, and government services with large networks. My role involves monitoring their infrastructure worldwide to address critical issues proactively and fix things before users start complaining. We focus on selling to financial institutions, especially banks in Nigeria.

DX Spectrum offers effective network fault detection. Depending on user requirements, it can monitor infrastructure to track activities on servers or monitor network connectivity. It provides a good topology view of the environment, eliminating latency around applications in different locations. Additionally, its performance management capability enhances network operations by allowing users to manage the network effectively. The interface has the needed configuration for visualization, and it's effective in providing a complete diagram of network links and connections across various stations globally. This helps in identifying if a client's link is down or up.

We primarily use DX Spectrum for network monitoring, deep analysis, and root cause analysis. It is also used for error detection and sending events to SOI, an add-on product from Broadcom. These events are then forwarded to our service management tool, SC3. 

The best thing about Spectrum is its stability. We have not had any downtime since we started using it. It has been consistently up and running without any priority one errors. It is also very quick.

I am not working for cellular. I am a service provider. I am using all these tools for the UK customers.

DX Spectrum uses an SNMP Trap to accept all the details, especially for device monitoring of faulty devices, allowing me to use Spectrum effectively. 

DX Spectrum focuses more on device monitoring. It has a dashboard and a lighting mechanism. The performance manager is very good. It has thresholds and everything, and it shows the overall network health. It scans all the devices through the network via NSM. 

DX Network integrates with DX Net apps. The DX Net apps include all kinds of dashboards and integrate with event management tools, network tools, and all these tools from Broadcom. I am actively working on it. We completed earlier stages, and we are implementing almost more than eighty percent. It has many features. It has observability, automatic analysis, predictions, and everything.

The product helps to correlate events. 

The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability.

Network monitoring is the most important reason for using it. It is deployed on-prem in our data center.

The visualization of the network topology is very good. The network operation guys get a much better understanding of the topology of the network. When something fails, it is easy to see who are the neighbors of the devices and what is impacted. This respective correlation is very helpful in limiting or pinpointing a problem.

DX Spectrum is used in our data center.

The solution notifies you of any type of network equipment, such as switches, or routers, that are down. It lets you know right away on a list of red critical alerts.

As long as you have your devices configured properly on your networks, such as switches or routers, then you're going to receive the alerts.

DX Spectrum has helped out our organization keep us aware of anything that's down and overall visibility. The previous package of software that we had was not the best, DX Spectrum is an improvement because sometimes we wouldn't get any notifications at all, and now we receive much everything.

It's primarily a fault management tool.

An organization using DX Spectrum is more easily able to understand the root cause when something happens in its environment. The tool gives you the ability to correlate all the alarms from different devices and areas. You can pull the information together and you have a really good picture of what might have caused the problem, and what you can do to prevent it from happening the next time. That's a huge benefit. 

It also reduces the amount of time it takes to troubleshoot a problem.

I use the solution for monitoring and configuration management. 

The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management.
