Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The fault management is perfect."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility."
"The feature that I like to most is unified management in a multitenant environment, where we can manage all our customers with thousands of devices (routers, switches, VPNs, and APs)."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network."
"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."
"The technical support for this solution is good."
"The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."
"The few times we have needed help, Aerohive has been there for us and I am confident that If I need them they will be there again."
"It's extremely easy to deploy. Even our access points are behind the net, not using real, public IP. We can easily add to the cloud. For deployment, we just need to let the access point take the DSCP from IP and then, even if it's not a requirement, we can see the serial number from the access points and add the serial number to the cloud directly."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment."
"The platform has good stability."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"I know a school district, a big school district of mine, ripped out Extreme due to inefficiencies. It was the guest network that can be a struggle. They tried to differentiate between their primary network, and then offer a secondary."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"Pricing is a bit expensive."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road."
"Its price could be lower. It is a simplified solution, but it has price challenges. It is costly as compared to other solutions. It has almost everything. The only thing is that MAC is not possible on the cloud, and it has to be on-premises."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
