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.

Alternatives Considered
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.
