Quickly discovers large IP address spaces, integrates seamlessly, and is easy to maintain
The fact that Asset Manager provides us with accurate updated asset information and details, is important for us. When FireMon Asset Manager is properly configured the data it provides is comprehensive. I have used Asset Manager to create dashboards for certificate monitoring to identify out-of-date certificates. I've also used it for operational technology, like industrial control system-type monitoring. They work well. They're a great resource when we're trying to learn more about our network, find a gap, or discover if something isn't being monitored that we need to be monitoring. The speed at which Asset Manager can discover large IP address spaces is impressive. It discovers things relatively quickly and with relatively minimal configuration and setup. Asset Manager's benefits became evident soon after implementation. Real-time data provided immediate clarity; even simple queries quickly demonstrated its value. Asset Manager identified unauthorized devices on the network, prompting a review of connections between various generative networks. In simpler terms, I discovered unexpected devices, addressed a potential security breach by isolating them, and identified additional unauthorized connections. This has a clear impact on overall network security. We have configured FireMon APIs for alerting.

Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments
This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the change modules. Whenever there is a change in the firewall, it automatically reflects on FireMon."
"It offers a single platform for managing firewalls of different brands and simplifies policy deployment and auditing. It helps push policies to different firewalls, and it also helps with policy auditing."
"The most valuable aspects of FireMon Asset Manager are its integrations and its ability to passively monitor the network for unknown assets."
"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"The technical support is great."
"The ability to define custom templates for asset management helps track assets, budgets, warranties, and expiries effectively."
"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements."
"This is a very stable solution."
 

Cons

"While passive discovery remains important, active retrieval of asset details would be valuable, and this functionality is starting to be implemented, as I've observed in recent updates but it is not fully there yet."
"It is not very good at monitoring the Check Point firewall, but it works very well with other firewalls such as Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco ASA."
"The discovery process could be improved. If incorrect credentials are entered, it should give an error message. That would make our work easy rather than having to troubleshoot why the issue is occurring."
"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."
"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."
"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."
"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FireMon Asset Manager's pricing has been reasonable and has worked well for us from a licensing standpoint."
"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
