DX Performance Management Reviews

I have used Spectrum for monitoring all network faults, configurations, and troubleshooting network issues. It provides network performance stats, such as CPU, memory, and interface bandwidth detail. I have also set thresholds for my needs.

Spectrum is very good at monitoring all network faults and configurations. It enables me to take action based on network issues. The Performance Management provides detailed network performance stats, including CPU, memory, and interface bandwidth. 

Additionally, Spectrum is flexible and allows me to organize and treat devices uniquely without impacting other devices.

Our company uses the solution to monitor and gather information about link usage for premium and non-premium clients in the telecom industry. 

The solution is deployed on a virtual machine and we have six internal administrators. We don't have an exact user count because we have exposed all of our external customers, who are also premium customers in Mauritius, to the solution. 

The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products. It is not a structured database like normal SQL servers. 

I utilized the solution mostly from more of a data analytical perspective. We use it to collect stats on some of our devices, such as CPU utilization, member utilization, and interface utilization. It's used on our network gear.

The benefits I've seen are in troubleshooting scenarios of the software. For example, if the internet is not functioning as it would, we can see where the degradation in the performance is happening. The solution has provided us with the proper insight to analyze that and see that it's not actually that the service is not functioning properly, and see, for example, that the service needs to be increased as maybe it's not adequate for our usage.

For example, let's say, we're pushing out 10 GBs of data, and our service is only at 8 GBs. We're maxing out on the service, which is what is actually causing the slowdown. Knowing that we can take the proper action to upgrade. It also allows us to present evidence to go after additional funding to increase the capacity of the service.

My role is DX Performance Management Architect. I'm managing the solution and preparing reports, and dashboards.

We have our own version of the solution on our servers. I'm working with two big environments. In the first environment, I have fifty data collectors, and in the second one around fifteen. The solution is on-premises.

The solution has improved our organization by saving us time and helping with troubleshooting.

The main goal of installing DX Performance Management is to monitor the performance of a corporate network with approximately 3000 SNMP devices.

Network performance monitoring is completely integrated into corporate monitoring systems, with DX Spectrum network fault management integrating with the service desk, the provisioning database, the incident management system, etc.

Network performance management provides detailed information about network health and allows operators to observe dynamic network performance and respond to potential problems in advance.

Network performance measurement is one of the basic pillars of network monitoring, and unlike fault management (which usually only monitors errors on a specific device), it allows you to see the corporate network as a living entity. Therefore, performance management effectively complements the supervision system, and I cannot imagine any corporate monitoring without it.

We have Broadcom/CA DX Performance Monitoring as part of a complete network monitoring software package from this company. That's why we didn't choose an alternative.

On the other hand, DX Performance Management completely meets our requirements for performance, design, security, and so on. In addition, as part of the complete package for network monitoring from Broadcom, it is perfectly integrable.

We are a service provider and we have a lot of in-house servers using DX Performance Management. On the customer's network, we provide events and performance data, and we can control the network, such as the performance, and give service to our customers.

The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement.

The tool monitors device performance, including performance utilization, bandwidth usage, configurations, and the status of CPUs and memory.

The tool helps us understand network performance. 

I'm using this solution for topology and dashboards as well as historic trends. I'm a solutions architect and customer of DX Performance Management. 

Dashboards are the most valuable feature of this product as well as integration with other solutions. It helps with issues in the network and replacing devices.
