Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"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 technical support, as it is better than others."
"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."
"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."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"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."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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"
"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."
