"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The fault management is perfect."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"The platform has good stability."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"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."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"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."
"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 biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"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."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
