ManageEngine OpManager vs Opmantek NMIS comparison

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

"In my three years of experience with OpManager, we haven't encountered any issues. So, I'd rate it a nine out of ten. It's very stable."

"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."

"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."

"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."

"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 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 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 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 initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."

"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."

"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 storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"The dashboard could include more features."

"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."

"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."

"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 product is not worth the money."

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

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

"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."

"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 solution is highly affordable"

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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