Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"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."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"It is easy to navigate."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The integration point."
"Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great."
"Visualizations are the best way to understand deviation techniques from the norm."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"Integrity with many vendors: This simplifies the implementation and integration with different devices"
"The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results."
"Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. "
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features like seamless integration and a SQL-standard Structured Query Language for easy searching."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"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."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"This is a costly solution."
"It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance."
"It works as intended for us, and we are getting everything that we need out of it. If anything, its initial setup can be improved a bit."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table."
