We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps 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."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."
"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"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."
"It is easy to navigate."
"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."
"The integration point."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"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."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
