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 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."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"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 main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The integration point."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"The platform has good stability."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"I would like to see CA move Spectrum, Performance Manager, and some of their other tools moved to a SaaS based model. You see a lot of other manufacturers which are moving toward SaaS based models."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"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..."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"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."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
