Monitoring has become centralized and management now sees real‑time health of key network assets
The time investment required is significant, not because of difficulty but because of the need for free time to invest in it. We need to get the knowledge. We know there are many options, but we took an external vendor to install and make the customization. If we want to make others changes without paying for customization, we need to learn it deeply by ourselves. The tutorials are very complicated. They could work on that area. The tutorial part could be more simplified. I know there are many explanations, and you can get help or documents in one click on the current page in the product, but it is not very clear. If you want to do something new that you did not see from the vendor in the installation, it is not very simple. The documents are good for people that know how to operate the product well, but for new users, it is not simple.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The Tintri product line as a whole has freed up a lot of resources from constant administration of legacy enterprise storage."
"The Tintri product line as a whole has freed up a lot of resources from constant administration of legacy enterprise storage."
 

Cons

"I think they should improve or add advance performance reporting in the reporting part of Spectrum, they have recently replaced CABI with Jaspersoft in new version as a reporting integration."
"CA Spectrum provides value, but it can be very expensive."
"HTML5. Right now, it is a very Java driven application. We have lots of issues."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Right now, with Java OneClick, it's a problem, because people would like to be able to launch it."
"Integrations with other CA products A better way to create reports"
"A big problem for us now is the Java requirement for the console."
"NCM needs to be more user-friendly and refined."
"A better Tintri would be a "cheaper" one to get things started again."
"A better Tintri would be a "cheaper" one to get things started again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"DX Spectrum's pricing depends on the license number. It is affordable."
"DX Spectrum's pricing is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The cost of some of these products are a little cost prohibitive, which is unfortunate. We have to find lower cost solutions for some of the things that we have to pull in. For the most part, CA has capabilities in pretty much everything that you would need. You just have to figure out where are you going to spend the most money for what you have to actually get done. You can do all these things but, which ones do you have to do? And that's hard to choose sometimes because you want to do them all."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The product, support, and maintenance are all expensive, which is another reason that we are switching to another solution."
"The price is good enough to expect an ideal solution. It's expensive."
"It is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
