We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and Zenoss Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The integration point."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
"It's easy to use."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
