Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"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."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"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."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"The price has room for improvement."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
