"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"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."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The platform has good stability."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"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."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"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."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
