Good monitoring functionality, but technical support and integration with other products need to be improved
My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances. For CA Spectrum, the integration of this product is something that needs to be improved. Even some of their point products to not integrate very well, and ADA is one of them. The user interface needs to be improved. Technical support needs to be improved.

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

"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."
"The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"The solution is scalable."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."
"ManageEngine OpManager has many beneficial features that bring value to enterprises, allowing them to manage from 1,000 to 10,000 devices in one console, with multiple add-ons enhancing its utility, such as Firewall Analyzer, which optimizes rules and displays all rules in the firewall."
"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."
 

Cons

"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."
"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."
"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution and there is a single price to pay for licensing, with no options."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The product is not worth the money."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
