We performed a comparison between Citrix ADM and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency."
"Just one solution can handle thousands of users... So, it is a very convenient tool to use."
"An essential component is the Director, which provides detailed insights into sessions, including identifying session failures, connection issues, user lockouts, etc. It presents a list of problems to address, enabling you to click on them and resolve them efficiently."
"We like the periodic upgrades and backups, also made via ADMs, and it makes our environment much more robust and reliable."
"The analytics are a great feature."
"Available on any device and can be accessed on a wide area network."
"The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment."
"Content filtering, security layer, and application customization features are the most valuable."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing."
"The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."
"The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that."
"They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc."
"Deployment is complicated."
"Citrix is more expensive than Horizon."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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..."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
