We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Technical support is great."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
