Featured Reviews

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.

Dynamic discovery and effective network topology make IT monitoring valuable
The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine. It covers the entire span of the infrastructure, including servers and network operations. It also adapts well to different environments, showing network topology effectively, making the network monitoring tool quite valuable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."
"The solution is scalable."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
"We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards."
"The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."
 

Cons

"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."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"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 only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
"It may need a more customizable UI."
"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"Micro Focus' price is on the higher side, but there are other products like CA products and IBM that are more expensive. At the same time, you have to compare the maturity level of the solutions."
