We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"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."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"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."
"The ability to digest any information and then correlate it in accordance with what you need is valuable. The ability to connect to pretty much everything and bring the information in the same format is also valuable. On top of that, we can use their language in order to create and customize the dashboards, correlations, or analytics that we want to incorporate."
"The solution is the market leader."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"You can use it to gather syslog messages from anything."
"It is a one stop shop as a full monitoring and alerting solution for operations and application analysis for most of our back-end systems."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"Make it easy to use and the cost cheaper. This will help all organisations to implement Splunk."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"The configuration had a bit of a learning curve."
"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
"More training on PetaData using artificial intelligence techniques to identify the events which are not normal and exceptions that would help the organization identify threats and malware on the go with results."
"Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration."
