"I like running the scripts. With the help of a Python script, we deployed within the configuration and built up the code."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
