Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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."
"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 solution's stability needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"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."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
