We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and OpenText Network Node Manager i based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The fault management is perfect."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"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."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"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 way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
