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.

High scalability network management with centralized control and an intuitive interface that provides efficient monitoring and configuration capabilities

A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges. This unified dashboard simplifies tasks like simultaneous switch upgrades, streamlining the process. It enables us to create reports that monitor site statuses, including uptime and downtime, which helps us evaluate each site's monthly uptime and assess its revenue potential based on operational time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers."

"The biggest selling point is putting the power of creating dashboards and reports into end users' hands."

"Scalability is the reason we bought the product to begin with; it was designed from the ground up for carrier-grade services, and we are in effect an MSP ourselves, so we were really interested in looking at something to be able to handle the multi-tenancy and scale as large as possible, and this was the only solution that we really considered at that level."

"Customer service is top-notch."

"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."

"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."

"Technical support is very responsive and knowledgeable."

"When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center."

More DX Performance Management pros

"Junos Space creates one pane of glass managing your switching, routing, and security infrastructure as long as you have the modules for it."

"The most valuable feature is the technical support, as it is better than others."

"A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges."

"The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass."

"It allows me to do more of the basic firewall features, like traffic management and others, in a single pane of glass."

"For edge switching, this product is fantastic."

Cons

"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."

"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."

"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."

"There are some issues. We started supporting UTA and began to see both major and minor problems."

"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."

"I would say the initial setup is complex."

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

"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."

More DX Performance Management cons

"I would like to see Space created to fully functional, where it's got multiple modules, particularly SD-WAN working on Corporate, or maybe become part of the Orchestrator portion."

"I feel like it's been taking a back burner to other things, and I think that they're trying to go different routes."

"The upgrades are very time-consuming and difficult, and they often have to rebuild the product."

"I would like to them include network real-time performance and come up with a dashboard report."

"Its interface should be improved and enhanced to offer various functions, with flexible pricing"

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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. "

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

"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."

"This product is set at a good price point."

"We would like the price to be reduced."

"Typically, Juniper is more expensive than Cisco in initial costs, but overall, the long-term licensing fees that you're going to pay for Juniper versus Cisco is going to be less."
