"The fault management is perfect."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"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."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."
"PRTG gives us true visibility of the downtime of particular circuit functions. So if a circuit is up but not routing traffic, I will know with this tool. I can write a customized script for a sensor to detect specific things."
"The bandwidth monitoring is a very attractive feature, it can tell you the bandwidth utilization while it is attempting to connect to the host for feedback."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"It is user-friendly. It is easy to set up health checks within PRTG and use scans. It is like a self-service tool, and anyone can configure their own settings within PRTG."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"The inventory of the device should be improved."
"The technical support service should be improved."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve the price."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
