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 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."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"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."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"It is a scalable product."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The platform has good stability."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"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."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"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."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"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."
