Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."It helps secure IoT endpoints for specific networks."
"Good user profiling and BYOD facilities."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"It is easy to navigate."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"Lacks application level visibility on the dashboard."
"There could be in-built end-to-end map integration features for IoT devices instead of using third-party tools."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
