Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring 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."
"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."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"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 Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"I would like to see CA move Spectrum, Performance Manager, and some of their other tools moved to a SaaS based model. You see a lot of other manufacturers which are moving toward SaaS based models."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
