We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and Zabbix 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 most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"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."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"The solution is stable."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"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."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"The server monitoring could be better."
