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. Users also note issues dealing with configuration complexity and load performance. 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. DX Performance Management has higher costs, but bundling and accurate device management offer economic benefits. Both solutions provide significant returns with enhanced uptime and reduced disruptions, although DX requires more initial investment.

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

"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."

"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."

"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."

"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 integration with NetFlow, the NFA solution, so that we can have our flow forensics paired with the SNMP polling performance metrics on the same page."

"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."

"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."

More DX Performance Management pros

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

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

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

"The product provides intensive reports."

"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."

"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

"The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data."

"Some of the individual report views, the way some of the columns sort, there's room for improvement in giving us more flexibility in being able to sort reports based, for example, on what columns the metrics fall under."

"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."

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

"Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved."

"It needs role-based administration."

"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."

"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. "

More DX Performance Management cons

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."

"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."

"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."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."

"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."

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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. "

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

"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."

"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."

"It is reasonably priced."

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

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

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
