Find out what your peers are saying about Nexthink, Lakeside Software, ControlUp and others in Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)."It supports numerous platforms."
"DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"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."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"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."
"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."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
