"The platform has good stability."
"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."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."

"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."

"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."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"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 resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
