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 integration point."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"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 fault management is perfect."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"It is easy to navigate."
"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."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"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 a scalable product."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"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."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"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."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"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."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
