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.

A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"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 tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"ManageEngine OpManager positively impacts organizations by allowing users to practically manage their network, so they can understand exactly what's happening and where the problems are coming from, ensuring proactive monitoring."
"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
 

Cons

"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"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."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."
"The product is not worth the money."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
