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.

Generates close to real-time alerts so users can resolve issues, but needs more integration and public cloud monitoring features
As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."
"The AI is the best feature in this solution."
"A highly scalable solution."
"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."
"Overall, it's a great solution, and I consider it to be one of the best."
"It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"With this solution, they can have one million users at the same time with no crashes."
"It is the most flexible solution of this type, but it takes time to adapt."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
 

Cons

"It would be useful to have more AI features."
"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."
"The hardware requirements can be improved."
"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."
"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"This solution is complex for beginners so it takes some time to learn."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. The administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
"There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I'm rating the solution three out of five."
"It depends on the customer, what he wants."
"It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."
