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

"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."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"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."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

Cons

"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"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."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"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."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
"The licensing model is confusing."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"It is reasonably priced."
"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."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
