Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
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.

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.

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

Pros

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"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."
"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."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"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."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"The solution is easy to deploy; it's also easy to manage and monitor the environment, and instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"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."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"Customer Service: Excellent. It was on my initial contact that the rep suggested I wait a day to download the product, as more functionality would be added to the free version."
"We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with the speed of their answers."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution is finely stable."
 

Cons

"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"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."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"The only downside to this software is the price; it's a very pricey solution and very expensive, and it requires a good amount of resources in terms of server memory."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive."
"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."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive."
"We use the free version."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The product is not worth the money."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly."
