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 solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"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 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."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"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."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"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."
"The platform has good stability."
"It is a scalable product."

"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"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."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"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."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
