Reviews from Real Users
DX Spectrum stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust root cause analysis and its event correlation tool. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:
Umair A., Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technologies, writes of the product, “It covers networks very well. It has all the capabilities that you're looking for when it comes to monitoring. Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing. If you have a CA Service Desk, then it can be integrated so that if you have open tickets they can be closed automatically.”
Itarchit, an IT Architect at a comms service provider, notes, “The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism. I also like the product's multi-customer approach.” He adds, “We haven't seen a better product. Overall, I am happy with this solution. Based on the current market, I would rate DX Spectrum a nine out of ten.”
DX Spectrum was previously known as CA Spectrum.

| Solution Architect at SA Consulting | 4.5 | I have implemented DX Spectrum for large networks in financial institutions, notably in Nigeria. It effectively detects network faults and provides robust topology views. However, it could improve user-friendliness and alarm notification visibility. I compared it with solutions like SolarWinds. |
| Service Delivery Manager at Vvolve management consultants | 4.0 | I use DX Spectrum for monitoring UK customers' networks, appreciating its SNMP Trap feature, dashboards, and integration capabilities. However, it lacks automatic ticketing with ServiceNow and event management, which could improve its efficiency. Spectrum is more efficient than other tools I've used. |
| Diplom Informatiker at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | We use DX Spectrum for network monitoring and error detection. Its stability is excellent, but Broadcom's support and high pricing are issues. The tool automates processes effectively, but we're considering SolarWinds due to its lower cost claims. |
| Network Design Engineer DTCC at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I find DX Spectrum valuable for its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability, which helps correlate events and saves time and money. However, it needs better documentation for its complex features. I've seen a positive return on investment. |

| Director at Starways | 4.5 | I use DX Spectrum for monitoring and configuration management; it's a mature tool. However, the functionality isn't fully satisfactory, and accessibility needs improvement. It would help if troubleshooting templates were available, as I previously used OpenText. |
