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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."
"A highly scalable solution."
"I rate the stability of the product as ten on a scale of one to ten, indicating that it is very stable."
"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"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."
"The AI is the best feature in this solution."
"Customer service is top-notch."
"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."
"The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."
"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
 

Cons

"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."
"The licensing cost of DX NetOps is expensive, not very affordable, and on the top of the price range in the market."
"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."
"It would be useful to have more AI features."
"It would be better if they had an NFA network analysis feature. We appreciate features like extended network security for bucket flows, but it would be better to have some IDs, IPS functionalities, DDoS, or something like that."
"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The hardware requirements can be improved."
"This solution is not very scalable."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. ​"
"The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data."
"Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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. ​"
"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."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
