We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum, Tintri Global Center [EOL], and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"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."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"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."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"The Tintri product line as a whole has freed up a lot of resources from constant administration of legacy enterprise storage."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"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..."
"A better Tintri would be a "cheaper" one to get things started again."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"It could be more stable."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
