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."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."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"It is a scalable product."
"The platform has good stability."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"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."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"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 solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
