We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"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."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
