A stable tool that helps identify the complete flow analysis in a network
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the complete flow analysis can be identified through the tool. The classification of each protocol and how the bandwidth utilization is happening with the protocols while managing to get SLAs, IP protocols, and QoS metrics is possible because of the product.
Charles A - PeerSpot reviewer

Reporting features improve operational efficiency while weekend support needs enhancement
Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades. During weekends, they need to provide more support to ensure a smooth transition. There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality. Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For supporting flow-traffic monitoring, this product is the best option."
"The custom report is the most valuable feature."
"Anomaly Detector - This detects the anomaly flows in infra environment and makes job easy to analyze issue."
"Despite the low level of support, I would still fully recommend this product, because even when not all the features are used, the advantage of having such a wealth of useful information about the network traffic in real time, together with such flexibility of its presentation, is undeniable."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"We had evaluated other products, and we decided to go for OpManager because of its ease of use and cost."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"Alerting is the biggest asset as we can have real-time failure view and predict failures in some cases."
"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."
"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
 

Cons

"Prefer this product only if the scope of flow analysis is vast and for a limited scope I don’t prefer this product since the product licenses are very costly and it is a waste of money."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Sometimes the custom report jammed in the MYSQL database."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"Enhanced support should be given with APIs that work to maintain collected information."
"If one is able to find it at all, the documentation is often no help."
"Based on the high cost, I'd rate the solution six out of ten. I don't know if I would recommend it."
"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product. This would be better because compared to other products, the vendor is very slow at enhancing the solution."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
