It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"The platform has good stability."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"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."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"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."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
