Reduces the number of trouble tickets and is easy to deploy and troubleshoot
Deployment is straightforward and quick. This solution uses templates that simplify configuring for many devices simultaneously. If some network devices miscontribute or have a problem in configuration, I can solve this problem without an administrator. It collects many parameters from each device, and after that, we can get good reports about working equipment and the network. With this installation process, you must first prepare configuration templates in the cloud. After that, you can easily add new devices without further configuration. Once the devices connect to the cloud, they automatically receive the configuration. It doesn't take more than one hour, depending on the network. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Reliable network monitoring and proactive analytics enhance decision-making with areas for configuration improvement
NNMi is an OpenText product and serves as the OpenText Network Node Manager monitoring tool. OpenText Network Node Manager is used for network monitoring of switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, and all network devices. It can support any SNMP protocol. The advantages of OpenText Network Node Manager stand out because it can build the topology, Layer 2 topology, and Layer 3 automatically once devices are added, connecting them together, such as device one, for interface one, connected with interface one on another device. The integration capability of OpenText Network Node Manager is excellent because it integrates directly, and I can configure the integration to feed the CMDB, from where I can get all information from network monitoring into the CMDB, linking it with the infrastructure and correlating events. I use advanced fault monitoring and management features in OpenText Network Node Manager for topology and fault monitoring, as it can alert or generate an event if the value exceeds or falls below a predefined threshold for SNMP traps. The predictive analytics impact planning and optimization strategies because the product can be linked with another product for analytic analysis, allowing me to see the interface utilization trend and proactively take action if the utilization increases. The automated network discovery features and topology mapping in OpenText Network Node Manager have a positive impact. It supports a bundle with another product for NetFlow to monitor traffic, ports, protocols, and SLAs, and I can build compliance reports to address security vulnerabilities, such as identifying all devices using outdated protocols.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is zero-touch provisioning for query edge switches. You can connect the switch directly to your edge locations and then directly onboard, similar to the Cisco Meraki solutions."
"The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."
"The customer chose this solution because it helped reduce the number of trouble tickets. It’s easy to deploy and troubleshoot, as the solution uses AI to identify root issues."
"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."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"It is a scalable product."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
 

Cons

"The configuration aspect of the solutions is relatively new, but I have had positive experiences. However, for more advanced tasks, such as VXLANs on the EX platform, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance may not be the best option due to certain limitations. Nonetheless, it does have a CLI override feature for specialized configurations that cannot be done through the GUI."
"This cloud solution is built on microservices, and Juniper continuously adds new ones to enhance performance or introduce additional services."
"The platform’s monitoring tool is not up to the mark. It is not proactive enough and lacks some capabilities. Additionally, they should work on providing integration with other vendors."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"We have not had a good experience with technical support from OpenText. Many cases take a month to be resolved."
"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."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
