An all-inclusive monitoring solution that adapts to emerging technologies
The product helps to correlate events.  The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability. DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features.  I have been using the product since 2005.  I rate DX Spectrum's stability an eight point five…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
 

Cons

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"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."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"Currently, a perpetual license but some services are moving to a subscription"
"DX Spectrum's pricing is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The product, support, and maintenance are all expensive, which is another reason that we are switching to another solution."
"The cost of some of these products are a little cost prohibitive, which is unfortunate. We have to find lower cost solutions for some of the things that we have to pull in. For the most part, CA has capabilities in pretty much everything that you would need. You just have to figure out where are you going to spend the most money for what you have to actually get done. You can do all these things but, which ones do you have to do? And that's hard to choose sometimes because you want to do them all."
"It’s a great tool, but an expensive one. Learn how to use it properly."
"The price is good enough to expect an ideal solution. It's expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
