Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The integration point."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"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."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"It is a scalable product."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
