We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum, IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager, and Zenoss Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"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."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the efficiency."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
"It's easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"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."
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
