ManageEngine OpManager vs Opmantek NMIS comparison

"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."

"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."

"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."

"ManageEngine OpManager allows us to manage all our organization's firewalls, switches, and critical servers from a single console, requiring only one person to oversee all operations."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."

"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 installation of ManageEngine OpManager was difficult mainly due to the business view feature, as many customers in Vietnam want the team to develop more detailed capabilities regarding the business view."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."

"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."

"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."

"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."

"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."

"The pricing is moderate."

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."

"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
