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 solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"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 capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"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."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations."
"The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers."
"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."
"The integration with other network devices needs improvement."
"I would like to see additional modules included."
"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."
