Monitoring has become centralized and management now sees real‑time health of key network assets
The time investment required is significant, not because of difficulty but because of the need for free time to invest in it. We need to get the knowledge. We know there are many options, but we took an external vendor to install and make the customization. If we want to make others changes without paying for customization, we need to learn it deeply by ourselves. The tutorials are very complicated. They could work on that area. The tutorial part could be more simplified. I know there are many explanations, and you can get help or documents in one click on the current page in the product, but it is not very clear. If you want to do something new that you did not see from the vendor in the installation, it is not very simple. The documents are good for people that know how to operate the product well, but for new users, it is not simple.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"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."
"Technical support is the best in class."
"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 stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch.​"
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"This is a very good, refined product that, in the fault-tolerant configuration, approaches being bulletproof."
"The Tintri product line as a whole has freed up a lot of resources from constant administration of legacy enterprise storage."
 

Cons

"For small/medium companies, it is still too expensive, making the ideal candidates large enterprises, which would certainly benefit from the ROI within a year."
"Definitely the way this product needs to go is more web-based. They need to put more emphasis in the web technology."
"It's really tough to say because it really does have a lot to do with how much time you put into it."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"It's a little disheartening when you go in to find whatever it is procedure you need to do and it's just not there."
"The only pain point I have is some issues with support and the timeliness of getting a resolution."
"It's not the best product for availability and outages reporting."
"There were some issues with deployment."
"A better Tintri would be a "cheaper" one to get things started again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Spectrum is expensive."
"The product, support, and maintenance are all expensive, which is another reason that we are switching to another solution."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"DX Spectrum's pricing depends on the license number. It is affordable."
"In general, the license cost will be about 30% of the total TCO for this tool (hardware/support team, OS costs, and OS management)."
"DX Spectrum's pricing is neither expensive nor cheap."
"It’s a great tool, but an expensive one. Learn how to use it properly."
"It is very pricey. With the current trend of enterprises moving towards cheaper and more modern looking solutions like ManageEngine, SevOne, ServicePilot, and Paesller."
