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.

Real-time analytics and alerts improve application performance and network operations
OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless. Its real-time analytics, integrated with LiveNX, allow me to monitor business-critical applications and set up alerts for application performance issues. This centralized dashboard and alert system is highly valuable for maintaining network operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"Alerting is the biggest asset as we can have real-time failure view and predict failures in some cases."
"This solution is very easy because the pricing was not that high and the setup wasn't complicated, and it was very good for our environment."
"This is a good product; I would recommend and encourage people to use it because it has helped me a lot in the field."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."
"OmniPeek is a good product, but you should know its purpose for your organization."
"The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot."
"OmniPeek shows the entire packet flow and structure, particularly in security-related scenarios, whereas Wireshark sometimes fails to capture all packets."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."
"OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless."
 

Cons

"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"The licensing model is confusing."

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"The dashboard could include additional features."
"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."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."
"OmniPeek needs to improve its performance level."
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
