"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."

"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."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"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."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
