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 presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"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."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The integration point."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"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."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"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."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
