"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."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"Implementing IxChariot is very easy and user-friendly."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"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."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved."
