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."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 solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The fault management is perfect."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The integration point."
"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."
"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 is a scalable product."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"The platform has good stability."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"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."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
