Highly scalable and useful for SNMP monitoring
Pros and Cons
  • "Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
  • "DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of DX Spectrum is for monitoring and network fault management. If you have a carrier or a large-scale network and you would like to monitor it, DX Spectrum is one of the best solutions on the market. 

This is an on-prem solution. 

What is most valuable?

Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution. 

What needs improvement?

DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support. 

As for additional features, they release changes quarterly. Right now, the only thing I would like is Turkish support. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been providing this solution to customers for over 10 years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

DX Spectrum is highly scalable, which is why they are used by the biggest ISPs and carriers in Turkey. 

How are customer service and support?

Their tech support is very good. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup depends on the implementation, but it normally takes a couple of days to a week. It depends on the size of the project. 

What about the implementation team?

We implement this solution for customers. We are currently providing professional services to four customers. In Turkey, there are probably more than ten customers that use DX Spectrum. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is actually no base Spectrum product—it becomes DX NetOps. It's part of the product family, and Broadcom changed its name. New customers cannot buy DX Spectrum, they can buy DX NetOps, and Spectrum is a part of that family. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate DX Spectrum a nine out of ten.
