Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"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."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"The stability could be better."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
