"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."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The fault management is perfect."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"The platform has good stability."
"It is a scalable product."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"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."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"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."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
