"We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards.""When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."

More OpenText Network Operations Management Pros →

Cons
"The reporting could be simplified and the information made clearer to the user.""Cisco needs to improve Prime's monitoring tab. If any device goes down, there is a 15-second lapse before we know. It would be much better if we were alerted two or three minutes before a device is about to fail, so we can dispatch a field engineer and avoid network downtime. I would like to see a feature that allows you to access the devices directly from Prime's monitoring tab. That would make work easier for us.""If you think about a centralized monitoring system, Cisco Prime is not good because it does not support third-party vendors like Palo Alto or FortiGate.""Cisco Prime needs to have lower prices and more customization options.""The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications.""We would like to see the inclusion of detailed alerts.""The product needs to improve its interface and reporting.""The product's performance monitoring feature could be more intuitive."

"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective.""It may need a more customizable UI."
