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 Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"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."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"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 containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to transact in the cloud and its ability to onboard data easily with minimum connectors."
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to see everything on the same page and provides easy visibility into problems."
"The data representation options in the dashboards are excellent."
"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"My biggest struggle with Splunk in general is memorizing all the commands. If I want to know which users have logged in between certain hours, I cannot write that query out. It would be helpful to have AI so that I can explain in simple terms what I want and then the search gives that back to me. I am waiting for that."
"Splunk ES could have more pre-built integrations and rules. The detection is fairly accurate, but it depends on the rules you create. Splunk's out-of-the-box configuration isn't that useful."
"Splunk could enhance its services by providing more comprehensive professional assistance aimed at optimizing our investment."
"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."
"Over time I will have more requirements and I can foresee the solution could improve the search algorithm to run and output the data faster."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
