Has provided topological insights and dashboard-driven network visibility across complex environments

DX NetOps can be improved by expanding its integrations with different tools, as it can currently integrate with Spectrum and other Broadcom products. It would be beneficial to gain integration capabilities with tools such as New Relic or SolarWinds. Integration with DX NetOps occurs through API, which fetches metrics from those tools, and this is currently happening in our area, with DX NetOps receiving data not only from Spectrum but also from New Relic and SolarWinds. DX NetOps could be improved by providing more communication methods beyond SNMP traps to accommodate different private clouds, especially as customers increasingly adopt vendor-specific clouds. For example, Sainsbury's uses SAP cloud, SAS, and Oracle cloud, where monitoring is not currently possible through DX NetOps and Spectrum, which are limited to certain mechanisms. Within the organization, SNMP is usable, but to display metrics from outside the organization, different communication methods such as agent-based connections, TCP/IP, or secured connections are necessary—features not currently available in DX NetOps and Spectrum.

Flexibility and detailed performance stats enable effective network monitoring

Spectrum is very good at monitoring all network faults and configurations. It enables me to take action based on network issues. The Performance Management provides detailed network performance stats, including CPU, memory, and interface bandwidth. Additionally, Spectrum is flexible and allows me to organize and treat devices uniquely without impacting other devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."

"The product features include automation through AI, allowing out-of-the-box analysis of performance data, building baseline trends, and enabling configuration of dynamic thresholds relative to collected data."

"DX NetOps network monitoring and fault tolerance are the absolute best in the market, especially for the Indian market."

"I like that it provides an overall view of our network. From the topology view to every event, we can view it. We can also see the interface utilization for future capacity planning. It fits our use case and environment."

"A highly scalable solution."

"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."

"I rate the stability of the product as ten on a scale of one to ten, indicating that it is very stable."

"The best features I've seen so far with DX NetOps are that it can work with large scale systems, and it has a lot of functionalities and matrices."

More DX NetOps pros

"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."

"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."

"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."

"The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."

"When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue."

"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."

"Scalability is the reason we bought the product to begin with. It was designed from the ground up for carrier-grade services, and we are in effect a MSP ourselves. So we were really interested in looking at something to be able to handle the multi-tenancy and scale as large as possible. This was the only solution that we really considered at that level."

"When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center."

More DX Performance Management pros

Cons

"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."

"The hardware requirements can be improved."

"I would like DX NetOps to integrate with all Broadcom products in the future to make it closer to a rating of 10."

"The licensing cost of DX NetOps is expensive, not very affordable, and on the top of the price range in the market."

"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."

"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."

"DX NetOps is somewhat convoluted, and some of the programming constructs can be documented or driven through languages such as Python, Perl, and shell scripting, but they have their proprietary language, which may not be very user-friendly."

"It would be useful to have more AI features."

More DX NetOps cons

"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."

"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."

"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."

"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."

"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."

"The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data."

"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "

"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."

"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. "

"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."

"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
