Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations
We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

Has helped centrally manage users and assets while making operational tasks more efficient
The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation. The learning materials are very limited, and there is also a limitation of support SLA. It takes a huge amount of time to resolve certain issues when ManageEngine OpManager technical support gets involved. The expertise of support is limited. Reporting could be improved with more details. The content and richness can be improved on the reports. To make ManageEngine OpManager a better product, the first priority is improving the after-sales support and learning materials for local engineers and partners to enhance their capacities and expertise. The second priority is improving the product itself, including dashboards and reporting enrichment. Lastly, new feature adoption such as DLP or endpoint monitoring should be considered. Features that should be offered include DLP, Privileged User Access, data classification, and MDR. These are features that can be groomed around the MMS if properly configured.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Wire data analytics."
"We have been able to improve the mean time to resolution by several hours in some cases."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"This is a must-try product."
"You cannot hide from the wire; all truth lives in the packets, and ExtraHop gets them to talk!"
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"It's a must-have solution for large IT Operations, providing the ability to analyze infrastructure and application-related performance and data from the wire perspective."
"It gives you full 360-degree visibility into your entire infrastructure."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"Once it was set up and running, there were no issues with it, and it seems to run fairly well."
"We had evaluated other products, and we decided to go for OpManager because of its ease of use and cost."
"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"
 

Cons

"The solution could get more aggressive in the discounting of the overall cost."
"The improvement that would make the most impact would be expanding on the new EXA big data back end."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"Additional out-of-the-box solutions and use cases would be nice."
"There is room for improvement in the security part. They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"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."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"The dashboard could include additional features."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on."
"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"The product is not worth the money."
"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."
