Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations."
"The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use."
"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality."
"The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"The platform has good stability."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"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 a scalable product."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"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 integration with other network devices needs improvement."
"One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."
"I would like to see additional modules included."
"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"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."
"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."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
