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 does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The integration point."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"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."
"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."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"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"
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
