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."What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"It is a scalable product."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"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."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"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"
"Only to improve the GUI."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"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 dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
