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."The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"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."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"It is a scalable product."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"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."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"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 platform is complicated to use."
"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."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"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."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"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."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
