We performed a comparison between Dotcom-Monitor MetricsView Monitoring, DX Spectrum, and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"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."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"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."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"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."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"It could be more stable."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
