Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."
"MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers."
"It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"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."
"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"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."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
