Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The most valuable feature of this solution is the fact that it sends me canned reports. It's easy to use and easy to update."
"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."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The fault management is perfect."
"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."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"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's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"I would like to see improved index shifting."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"The product should provide performance management features."
