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."Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"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."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The fault management is perfect."
"The integration point."
"The platform has good stability."
"It is a scalable product."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"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 is complicated to use."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"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."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"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."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
