Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"It is easy to navigate."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"Scalable solution for tracking and syncing through the Infoblox grid."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"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."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Lacks network overview for the entire connected network."
