Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"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."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"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."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"What needs improvement in Micro Focus Operations Bridge is its resource heaviness because you need many resources to deploy and support it. It's a good solution for larger organizations, but for small businesses, not so much."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
