We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The scalability of monitoring, the breadth of supported network components, the scale of the number of monitoring events, and the flexibility in customization make this a well-rounded product. | If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes. You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration. Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment. Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults. |
Cons | |
Customization and integration that you need to do to make the product fit your needs is very complex. It is not a product that somebody could easily pick up without any prior training or experience. | The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports. 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. Only to improve the GUI. |
