"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"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."
"Pushing the network configuration to bulk devices. This saves a considerable amount of time that the engineer spends in pushing the network configuration."
"When compared with SolarWinds, it is more user-friendly, and tasks can be completed more quickly."
"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..."
"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."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"Compatibility of the devices needs to be enhanced, as it seems to be limited."
"Level one administration task can be defined in Micro Focus Network Automation but it could be more simplified."
