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."I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"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 covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable product."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"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."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"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."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"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."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"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"
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"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."
