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.

Easy to set up with good documentation and helpful support

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to deploy; it's also easy to manage and monitor the environment, and instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"However, once this product is tailored and organized according to their needs, then it is very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The solution is stable."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"The product itself is very good."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"We have seen a lot of return on investment: We have been able to recover radios in the field, we know exactly what is going on, we cut down fines from the service commission, and we have seen a measurable decrease in mean time to know, cutting troubleshooting down by days as we can now see the issues."
"This solution has saved us hours (three to four) per problem when troubleshooting."
"It is very rock solid, and we hardly have any hardware issues."
"If you are looking for a good application monitoring and packet analysis tool, you can strategically use NETSCOUT to get it done."
"Because we are doing proactive monitoring instead of reactive, the end users don't even see that there is something wrong."
"It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."
"It has cut our troubleshooting down by days. Once we have a product in place, we show people examples of how it can streamline their troubleshooting process."
"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail."
 

Cons

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence, in particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The pricing of the solution is high."
"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."
"Based on the high cost, I'd rate the solution six out of ten. I don't know if I would recommend it."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by adding network device control capabilities."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."
"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."
"Sometimes, we can't access it."
"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."
"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."
"I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."
"The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."
"This product could be cheaper."
"It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."
"The price is a little high."
