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."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"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."
"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."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."
"The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"In terms of network visibility, Statseeker can be very granular. We can tell it exactly where we want it to go and where we want it to check, or it can do an SNMP walk and find out where everything is. It's very detailed."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"I would like to see CA move Spectrum, Performance Manager, and some of their other tools moved to a SaaS based model. You see a lot of other manufacturers which are moving toward SaaS based models."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
