Mark Tukh - PeerSpot reviewer
Leverages comprehensive network monitoring and AI-driven automation for enhanced performance analysis
There is a model for network traffic analysis in the NetOps product called NetOps Flow Analyzer. It provides all the necessary protocols and analysis. DX NetOps supports network monitoring across hybrid environments, though I hope it works out of the box. The product features include automation through AI, allowing out-of-the-box analysis of performance data, building baseline trends, and enabling configuration of dynamic thresholds relative to collected data.
Sandip Kheni - PeerSpot reviewer
The vertical database loads faster than any other product available
We experience disconnections between the solutions own components. In the last five years, there have been many intermittent connection issues with the four components and we still don't know the reasons. The solution has issues when loading groups that have been created in the application interfaces. It would be nice to have a mobile application. In the current industry and technical word, the mobile phone is the only thing that is always in your hands. Other Broadcom products have mobile applications but the solution doesn't offer one. It would be great to view device parameters and view or download graphs from a mobile device.

Pros

"I rate the stability of the product as ten on a scale of one to ten, indicating that it is very stable."
"The product features include automation through AI, allowing out-of-the-box analysis of performance data, building baseline trends, and enabling configuration of dynamic thresholds relative to collected data."
"I like that it provides an overall view of our network. From the topology view to every event, we can view it. We can also see the interface utilization for future capacity planning. It fits our use case and environment."
"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."
"A highly scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The AI is the best feature in this solution."
"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"The integration with NetFlow, the NFA solution, so that we can have our flow forensics paired with the SNMP polling performance metrics on the same page."
"You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem."
"Customer service is top-notch."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
 

Cons

"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."
"The hardware requirements can be improved."
"It would be useful to have more AI features."
"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."
"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."
"The licensing cost of DX NetOps is expensive, not very affordable, and on the top of the price range in the market."
"DX NetOps is somewhat convoluted, and some of the programming constructs can be documented or driven through languages such as Python, Perl, and shell scripting, but they have their proprietary language, which may not be very user-friendly."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."
"​Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected."
"Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."

What do you like most about DX NetOps?
It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure.
What needs improvement with DX NetOps?
We have not used the predictive analytics capability of DX NetOps in impacting our network management processes. My experience with using automated root cause analysis is that it tells the symptoms...
What do you like most about DX Performance Management?
The tool helps us understand network performance.
What needs improvement with DX Performance Management?
Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved.
