Has provided topological insights and dashboard-driven network visibility across complex environments

DX NetOps can be improved by expanding its integrations with different tools, as it can currently integrate with Spectrum and other Broadcom products. It would be beneficial to gain integration capabilities with tools such as New Relic or SolarWinds. Integration with DX NetOps occurs through API, which fetches metrics from those tools, and this is currently happening in our area, with DX NetOps receiving data not only from Spectrum but also from New Relic and SolarWinds. DX NetOps could be improved by providing more communication methods beyond SNMP traps to accommodate different private clouds, especially as customers increasingly adopt vendor-specific clouds. For example, Sainsbury's uses SAP cloud, SAS, and Oracle cloud, where monitoring is not currently possible through DX NetOps and Spectrum, which are limited to certain mechanisms. Within the organization, SNMP is usable, but to display metrics from outside the organization, different communication methods such as agent-based connections, TCP/IP, or secured connections are necessary—features not currently available in DX NetOps and Spectrum.

Flexibility and detailed performance stats enable effective network monitoring

Spectrum is very good at monitoring all network faults and configurations. It enables me to take action based on network issues. The Performance Management provides detailed network performance stats, including CPU, memory, and interface bandwidth. Additionally, Spectrum is flexible and allows me to organize and treat devices uniquely without impacting other devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features I've seen so far with DX NetOps are that it can work with large scale systems, and it has a lot of functionalities and matrices."

"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."

"A highly scalable solution."

"Real-time insights through DX NetOps benefit diagnosing and resolving network issues since Spectrum has all sorts of details, but it lacks dashboards and a readable tabular format."

"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."

"The AI is the best feature in this solution."

"The solution is stable."

More DX NetOps pros

"It makes things faster when we have our network operations center, they can look at their dashboards that we've created for them, and they can see problems immediately."

"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."

"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."

"What is most useful is visibility."

"The capability where not only the traditional SNMP information is captured but also the netflow data; who is consuming the data on the WAN, and voice-related information, is helpful. The voice quality makes it very easy for first- and second-line operators to see where the issue is, and who is impacted."

"Customer service is top-notch."

"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."

"It is easy to use, and the performance metrics are helping us to know our network better."

More DX Performance Management pros

Cons

"I would like DX NetOps to integrate with all Broadcom products in the future to make it closer to a rating of 10."

"Technical support could be more responsive."

"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."

"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."

"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."

"It would be useful to have more AI features."

"The licensing cost of DX NetOps is expensive, not very affordable, and on the top of the price range in the market."

"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."

More DX NetOps cons

"I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part."

"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 certificates are not complete. CA needs to provide more support for the product through certificates."

"The database should have higher availability in case of an incident."

"One of the greatest challenges we have encountered are the polling cycles."

"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."

"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."

"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."

More DX Performance Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."

"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. "

"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."

"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."

"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."
