We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and OpenText Network Node Manager i based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"The integration point."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"The platform has good stability."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"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..."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"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."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
