Senior Program Manager at Tata Consultancy Services
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.

A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"A highly scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"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 AI is the best feature in this solution."
"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."
"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."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good; it's very similar to SolarWinds, just with a different interface, and the majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The setup is very intuitive and quick - it all just took a few minutes we were done."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
 

Cons

"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."
"I would like DX NetOps to integrate with all Broadcom products in the future to make it closer to a rating of 10."
"The licensing cost of DX NetOps is expensive, not very affordable, and on the top of the price range in the market."
"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."
"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."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"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."
"The hardware requirements can be improved."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Our network is made up of a lot of Cisco devices, and it needs improvements."
