Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"Network visibility is the most valuable feature."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"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."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"The pricing and AI can be improved."
