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

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products, and discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"Customer Service: Excellent. It was on my initial contact that the rep suggested I wait a day to download the product, as more functionality would be added to the free version."
"OpManager technical support is good."
"We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with the speed of their answers."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"ManageEngine OpManager has given us the ability to monitor real-time performance, and positions of our virtual machines and host machines, helping us minimize the amount of time it takes to manage them by allowing us to monitor all machines through a single dashboard instead of going to them one by one."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"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."
"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."
"I think it compares very well to all the solutions in what it offers, and also I think compared to some of them, it is much more reliable."
"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."
"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."

Cons

"The dashboard could include additional features."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"Also, every time I perform a version upgrade, something breaks."
"There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes."
"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

"It is reasonably priced."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
