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.

Gives an overview of the entire infrastructure and helps with the optimization and capacity planning

It is not very easy, but it is also not very complex. You need good technical expertise to understand how to work with the product. The deployment duration depends on the scope of work. It depends on how much integration you need. This product can integrate with many other applications. It depends on whether you want to integrate or whether you want a standalone system. It depends on how many different systems you need to capture the data from. Do you want to integrate with a reporting product? Depending upon that, you have to decide. The product installation takes one or two days, but you need to define a use case for what you want to do after the installation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration with NetFlow, the NFA solution, so that we can have our flow forensics paired with the SNMP polling performance metrics on the same page."

"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."

"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."

"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."

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

"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 feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."

"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."

More DX Performance Management pros

"It helps to plan how you can scale up your environment, and it gives an overview of your entire infra."

"Easy access to resources of our cloud."

Cons

"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."

"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."

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

"It needs role-based administration."

"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."

"We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance."

"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."

"Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved."

More DX Performance Management cons

"It needs to improve the capacity planning."

"It should have more reporting features. It will help in getting more reporting information."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

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

"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. "

"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."

"It depends on the agreement that you have with Micro Focus. It can be a year-based term. It can be perpetual, or it can be subscription-based. Depending upon whether you're looking for an annual or a multi-year contract, the pricing would vary. It also depends on whether you are looking for standard support or premium support."
