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 most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"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."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"It is a scalable product."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"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."
"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..."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"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."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
