  • "Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved."
  • "Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected."
  • "DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool."

Pricing

Enterprise users of DX Performance Management have varied opinions on pricing, with some finding it expensive while others see it as competitive within the market. Bundling is often recommended for added value, and scalable licensing is noted for being device-based and straightforward. Organizations should accurately assess managed objects to optimize costs.

  • "The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
  • "We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."

DX Performance Management Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior IT Operations Specialist at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5I use Spectrum for network monitoring and troubleshooting, finding its performance stats on CPU, memory, and bandwidth very useful. Its flexibility in device management is great, though I wish the topology view updated automatically after reconnections.
Lead Developer at STL - Sterlite Technologies Limited4.0We use DX Performance Management to monitor link usage for telecom clients. Its fast-loading vertical database is valuable, but we've faced component disconnection issues and would benefit from a mobile app for convenient device management and graph access.
Senior Lifecycle Operations Engineer at a engineering company with 10,001+ employees4.0I use DX Performance Management primarily for data analysis, focusing on device utilization metrics like CPU and interface usage. Its visibility helps identify performance issues, though it lacks alerts. It's stable and scalable but needs more granularity on major service users.
Tool Architect at ATOS4.0As a DX Performance Management Architect, I manage two environments with the on-premises solution. I value its reporting, downloads, and thresholding features. Although I seek more integration with graphs, it's superior to IBM SevOne and Grafana.
Senior IT Specialist at Ceskoslovenska obchodni banka, a. s.5.0We implemented DX Performance Management to monitor a corporate network of 3000 SNMP devices. It integrates well with systems, offers comprehensive monitoring, and generates detailed reports. Improvements could include expanded customization options for device types in dashboards.
Team Lead-IT service Management at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees3.5We use DX Performance Management to manage and control network performance for our clients efficiently. Its valuable features include easy data collection and device discovery, though improvements are needed in its database model and multi-tenancy synchronization with other data sources.
Principal Consultant at KyndleIT Consulting4.0I use DX Performance Management to monitor device performance, such as bandwidth and CPU status. It effectively helps me understand network performance, but it needs better high availability to ensure seamless monitoring during data center transitions.
Architect of solutions at Dayset5.0As a solutions architect using DX Performance Management, I find its dashboards and integration features extremely valuable for network issues and device replacement. However, improvements are needed in strategy, policies, and monitoring.
