LA
Technical Solution Specialist at Crypto-gen
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.
KL
Network Engineer at Inniti Network Solution
A user-friendly solution that is easy to install and improves visibility
I would like to see improvements made to the user guide. From my personal experience, it is helpful to see a list of steps describing what to do next in different situations. An example is what to do and what to back up in the case of certain types of failure. There are also cases where a customer can't understand specific features. Enhancements to the user guide would be helpful for this. More features for network fragmentation would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"We use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization, as we can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training, which is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The solution is finely stable."
"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."
"The generation of KPI-like information that feeds to the nGeniusONE (management) server is the most valuable feature."
"Sometimes it took a month to troubleshoot something that we can now do within days."
"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
 

Cons

"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."
"The installation of ManageEngine OpManager was difficult mainly due to the business view feature, as many customers in Vietnam want the team to develop more detailed capabilities regarding the business view."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"Based on the high cost, I'd rate the solution six out of ten. I don't know if I would recommend it."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"I would say that this is not a scalable solution."
"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
"The stability is okay, but sometimes we see that the memory on the server is not 100 percent correct and we need to stop and start the software to have it reallocated again."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is reasonably priced."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The pricing is moderate."
