Network Topology Mapper is Network mapping software from SolarWinds built to automatically plot a network. Leveraging its multi-layer discovery technique, Network Topology Mapper automatically discovers LAN or WAN and produces comprehensive, network diagrams that integrate OSI Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology data (including switchto-switch, switch-to-node, and switch-to-router port connections) which can be exported into Microsoft Office® Visio® or other formats and shared.

Well-suited for large-scale deployment without needing more servers. Linux installation is quite stable, and Polling of a large number of devices is well managed. Less suited to Network Observability scenarios or cloud network monitoring.

Support is long and arduous and often are unable to help resolve the issue. We often have to do escalations or duty manager to get things moved. Even with a technical account manager, we do not see much improvement from a support point of view. This is an area where Micro Focus has a lot of improvement to do.

Alternatives Considered

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.

  • HP NNM is very good at producing root cause analysis. MTTR is reduced with NNM.
