"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."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"The fault management is perfect."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"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."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."
"What I like about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it's useful for analyzing traffic. It also has an application visibility feature that lets you control applications."
"NTA's most valuable feature is traffic analysis and visibility."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."
"This solution gives us important information about the utilization of protocols, particularly in terms of how often they are used."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."
"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"NTA's documentation for the implementation phase needs some enhancement."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
