Featured Reviews

Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.
Charles A - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."
 

Cons

"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"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."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The solution is highly affordable"
