    Good integration capabilities, good reliability, and is user-friendly
    NOM Platform provides support to monitor and manage SDN Networks like Cisco ACI. It provides configuration changes and tracking over time to add impact on network routing and performance issues. The solution has very powerful APIs to be integrated with other systems to complete the full image to apply ITIL processes. The NOM Module is just a part of the full image portfolio of ITOM that covers network management integrating natively with other Micro Focus modules like UCMDB (Universal Configuration Management Database), which becomes a single point of truth regarding the configuration items. The OBM (Operations Bridge Management) covers the Manager of Managers role. SMAX (Service Manager and Asset Management X) covers the ITSM in the Micro Focus Portfolio.

    "Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective."

All of these technologies require closer collaboration between network engineering and operations because of their dynamic nature, which requires fast and deep understanding of the technologies to operate effectively.
