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.
KL
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 have found the solution to be stable."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"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."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
 

Cons

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."
"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonably priced."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The product is not worth the money."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"The pricing is moderate."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"Licensing is quite expensive."
