Considered Both Products	DX Spectrum Leandro Daniel Pacheco IT Manager Chose DX Spectrum To be honest, Spectrum is one of the most stable and less problematic solutions that we work with. It’s easy to scale and to deploy. The only time we’ve had problems with it was with some upgrading processes. It is not so intuitive and you have to make sure everything is correct.

User Testimonials
	DX Spectrum	NetVizura NetFlow Analyzer
Likelihood to Recommend	Well Suited: To detect network anomalies, outages, packet loss, blocks, floods, disconnections, link statuses, power supply failures, UPS failures/low batteries, etc. Basically anything that can and will go wrong with the network, Spectrum will give you the drop before user community is aware. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The capacity planning was a big help in our company as we grew the number of connected locations. Grow or die is pretty much the business model of today but that growth is only as good as the network it travels on. Being able to recommend appropriate network requirements is a big deal in our line of business. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Polling and traps can be configured to take heartbeats at specified intervals and notify on an event in real-time, respectively. Topology of devices gives a high-level overview of network architecture. Discovery of devices is simple and secure with the use of community strings. Details can be added per device or alarm type for actions to be taken to make troubleshooting easier.

The flow of the interface to monitor bandwidth, performance and detect anomalies makes it a winner over the other three. Compared to PRTG is how it organizes the information and search ability. Wireshark is a quick and dirty look and NetFlow analyzer is more for data mining and analyzing over time. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
