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.

Flexible device polling times and extensible modules are key features for me
There are lots of reasons why I'm using it. The installer itself is basically something that can be used as a no-questions-asked type of installer. I can use it with automation tools like Chef and Puppet. I don't have to answer some random questions. I can worry about all that stuff later on in the configuration. It allows for variable polling times of devices on the network. Because it's all in text, in general, that obviously makes it easier from the automation perspective as well, to modify configuration on the fly, using Puppet and those kind of tools. It does have different modules, so you can extend the solution as you need it, or get as little as you need in the beginning, so you don't have to buy a full set of modules. You just buy what you need and expand later on.

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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."
"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."
"The installer itself is basically something that can be used as a no-questions-asked type of installer. I can use it with automation tools like Chef and Puppet. I don't have to answer some random questions. I can worry about all that stuff later on in the configuration."
"The big thing is the event management engine, which is really, really nice to use, and it comes at a reasonable price, unlike some of the competitors like Netcool from IBM. Those kinds of tools are hugely expensive and they come as resource-heavy types of solutions. This obviously doesn't require as much hardware, but it does offer similar benefits where you can manage all the events."
"It does have different modules, so you can extend the solution as you need it, or get as little as you need in the beginning, so you don't have to buy a full set of modules. You just buy what you need and expand later on."
"It allows for variable polling times of devices on the network. Because it's all in text, in general, that obviously makes it easier from the automation perspective as well, to modify configuration on the fly, using Puppet and those kind of tools."
"In my case, I prefer to only poll interfaces that have descriptions, and the ones that don't have descriptions, I don't really want to know about them. It does allow for all these bits and pieces and adjustments, and fine tuning to get it to a point where it works for my needs."
 

Cons

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."
"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"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."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"These kinds of solutions are more node- or device-based solutions. It would be nice in the future if they could be more data-oriented, so it would be easier for me to pull different stats based on ad-hoc requirements; but in a big, centralized database where I can pull specific things, and mix and match the way I want to."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
