Umair (Abu Mohaymin) Akhlaque - PeerSpot reviewer
Good for monitoring, covers networks well
If you are looking for the right monitoring tool, Spectrum is one of the best solutions. It covers networks very well. It has all the capabilities that you're looking for when it comes to monitoring. Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing. If you have a CA Service Desk, then it can be integrated so that if you have open tickets they can be closed automatically. The configuration manager is great as well.
ShahzadAziz - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable and stable solution that provides excellent features and can be integrated with any product
The support team is more into R&D. They're not focused on support. The vendor lets the partners provide support for the solution. Partners must have StableNet-certified engineers. Complex problems arise for complex installations. When a problem is deep, it takes a lot of time to resolve it. It goes to the R&D and development teams. They do solve it, but the time taken could be reduced.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"DX Spectrum uses an SNMP Trap to accept all the details, especially for device monitoring of faulty devices, allowing me to use Spectrum effectively."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"Generally, I would recommend DX Spectrum because, despite its pricing issue, it is a valuable solution."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The solution is stable."
"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."
"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."
 

Cons

"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"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."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"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."
"The price of DX Spectrum is not competitive when compared to other solutions, such as SolarWinds. The high price has caused us to lose many deals."
"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."
"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
"The solution is expensive."
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"DX Spectrum's pricing depends on the license number. It is affordable."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"DX Spectrum's pricing is neither expensive nor cheap."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we have not had such a good experience with licensing and pricing. Since they were bought by Broadcom, every sales contract is getting complicated. It's very complicated, and it's much more expensive than before. It's not a good pricing strategy from Broadcom."
"The price is good enough to expect an ideal solution. It's expensive."
"The price is very high."
"It is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The product, support, and maintenance are all expensive, which is another reason that we are switching to another solution."
