Has a single dashboard, but is expensive

An all-inclusive monitoring solution that adapts to emerging technologies
The product helps to correlate events.  The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability. DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features.  I have been using the product since 2005.  I rate DX Spectrum's stability an eight point five…

Reporting is good, monitors well and stable product
We manage a client's network. We put all applications/devices into ManageEngine OpManager. This allows us to manage everything from a single interface. It's not just about endpoint devices; it also improves switches and servers. For example, if we have the same switches across our organization, we…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"​The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch.​"
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"The solution is finely stable."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The setup was easy."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. ​"
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The product, support, and maintenance are all expensive, which is another reason that we are switching to another solution."
"It’s a great tool, but an expensive one. Learn how to use it properly."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"In general, the license cost will be about 30% of the total TCO for this tool (hardware/support team, OS costs, and OS management)."
"The price is good enough to expect an ideal solution. It's expensive."
"The price is very high."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we have not had such a good experience with licensing and pricing. Since they were bought by Broadcom, every sales contract is getting complicated. It's very complicated, and it's much more expensive than before. It's not a good pricing strategy from Broadcom."
"Currently, a perpetual license but some services are moving to a subscription"
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
