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."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."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"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 gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"The platform has good stability."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"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."
"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."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"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."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
