Old but Stable Monitoring Solution
We are using [Micro Focus Network Node Manager i (formerly HP Network Node Manager)] [over the] last 6 years when it was HP's product and the primary purpose of Network Node Manager was to monitor our customer's network infrastructure fault and performance monitoring and reporting. It was being used by network practice and support department and monitoring team as well.
- Fault and Performance Monitoring
- Performance Reporting
- Alerting and Flexible threhsolds
- Product stability
- Micro Focus still using older technology
- Unavailability of APIs for 3rd party interaction
- no out of the box integrations with 3rd party systems
- Fault and Performance Monitoring
- Performance Reporting via iSPI
- Network Topology with Tenant View
- Our network SLA are under prescribed values
- Capacity planning was possible with the help of reports availability
- API option is still missing and hence unable to leverage PowerBI and advanced reporting tools.
- SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (npm), DX Spectrum (formerly CA Spectrum) and PRTG Network Monitor
Even though there are many products in the market such as from Solarwinds, CA Spectrum (no DX Spectrum), PRTG that offers similar or even with more flexibility the fault and performance monitoring still Micro Focus is a very nice tool when it comes to Scalability and Stability with all necessary monitoring coverage. There is no external database required and hence less issues with integration.

Old is Gold with much stability and operation overhead
Micro Focus Network Node Manager i is being used by our end customers for their Network infrastructure monitoring such as routers, switches, loadbalancers, firewalls. There are some appliances also which are being monitored by Network Node Manager using SNMP protocol. This product is being used by the network team to keep an eye on their entire organization network fault and performance monitoring.
- Network Fault and Performance Monitoring
- Fault Tolerant
- Distributed Architecture
- Stability in operations
- More out of the box monitoring parameters features
- Improved GUI
- Independent reporting functionality within NNMi
- Network Fault and Performance Monitoring
- Resiliency and Architecture
- Product Stability when it comes to bulk of devices
- Improved Network Monitoring Experience
- Business stability has increased by using this product due to proactive monitoring capabilities
- Capacity Planning has improved due to out of the box reports availability
Micro Focus comes with in built database for store its raw polled data from network devices and hence it is preferred tool compared to others since other tools requires additional efforts and cost involved as compared to Micro Focus. Also the stability of the product is vey much high as compared to other tools and that is again due to less overhead on Database Management.

NNMi: An ok product with absolutely terrible support.
We use NNMi to monitor our entire network of 8,000 nodes. We create automatic tickets to SM based on some specific alarms detected by the software. Our NetOps group uses the tool along with our network operations center. We use it as a troubleshooting tool and also as a capacity and performance planning tool.
- Network infrastructure monitoring.
- Interface monitoring.
- Flow monitoring.
- QoS.
- Upgrades are costly and very long.
- Provided a view on what is happening in our network.

HP NNM implementation from the real world perspective
We use HP NNM in production, demo, QA and DEV environments. We are an HP partner and reseller of HP NNM. HP NNM has the ability to give root cause analysis of network issues across the enterprise. It also has the ability to report on current network performance and trending data. The architecture of the product is simplified allowing the customer to implement only the items they need.
- Automated network discovery. Simple discovery rules and granular settings across regions allow the user to manage what parts of the network are automatically discovered. The user also has a choice not to use automated discovery if they do not want it. They can add lists of devices by CSV file if needed.
- Simple polling architecture. NNM has a single polling source allowing the customer to keep simple ACL rules allowing NNM access to devices across the enterprise. It also supports a hierarchical structure with multiple instances if needed by the user.
- Out of box content. There are multiple dashboards available out of box with the different modules that can be added onto NNM. Key Performance Graphs include Top 10 device CPU utilization, Top 10 Interfaces with Errors, Top 10 Interfaces with packet drops, Top 10 QoS violators.
- Layer 2 and Layer 3 network mapping. NNM is very good at automatically creating network topology maps. It allows the user to group nodes together showing small parts of the topology to entire regions for trouble shooting or NOC monitoring.
- Most customers would like to see NNM get away from using some Java applets.
- In environments where we see more than 10 different network device vendors in production, we see issues with L2 mapping. Different vendors use different L2 protocols. This can cause an issue with L2 discovery and mapping.
- HP NNM is very good at producing root cause analysis. MTTR is reduced with NNM.
