Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

ManageEngine OpManager and DX Performance Management are competitors in the comprehensive monitoring solutions category. ManageEngine OpManager seems to have the upper hand based on its competitive pricing and real-time monitoring insights compared to the higher costs and need for greater initial investment in DX Performance Management.

Features: ManageEngine OpManager offers capabilities like alerting, device and network monitoring with real-time failure prediction, and automation for proactive issue resolution. Its reporting provides valuable aggregated views and metrics essential for executive insights. DX Performance Management features detailed dashboards, extensive integration capabilities, and performance visualizations offering quick, intuitive insights.

Room for Improvement: ManageEngine OpManager faces challenges with dashboard customization complexity, role-based access, and the need for enhanced machine learning capabilities.

DX Performance Management needs improved reporting for larger datasets, more dynamic dashboard features, and enhancements in support infrastructure and tenant management.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both products generally require on-premises deployment. ManageEngine OpManager also offers public cloud options for flexibility. Customer service for ManageEngine OpManager receives varied reviews, with some satisfaction in responsiveness but concerns about expertise in certain regions. DX Performance Management’s customer service is prompt but lacks 24/7 availability, causing delays in critical situations.

Pricing and ROI: ManageEngine OpManager is noted for its competitive pricing, attractive licensing model, and quick ROI through reduced overhead and improved visibility.

The vertical database loads faster than any other product available

We experience disconnections between the solutions own components. In the last five years, there have been many intermittent connection issues with the four components and we still don't know the reasons. The solution has issues when loading groups that have been created in the application interfaces. It would be nice to have a mobile application. In the current industry and technical word, the mobile phone is the only thing that is always in your hands. Other Broadcom products have mobile applications but the solution doesn't offer one. It would be great to view device parameters and view or download graphs from a mobile device.

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

"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."

"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."

"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."

"It gave us one location, one place to do all of group administration, and to build dashboards, and device administration, inventory counts... it really reduced our overall administrative overhead."

"The tool helps us understand network performance."

"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."

"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."

"There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."

More DX Performance Management pros

"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

"The setup was easy."

"The solution is scalable."

"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

"DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool."

"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."

"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."

"Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down."

"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "

"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."

"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."

"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."

More DX Performance Management cons

"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."

"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."

"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."

"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."

"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. "

"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."

"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."

"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."

"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

"The pricing is moderate."

"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
