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.
Moshiur-Rahman Khan - PeerSpot reviewer

Offers perfect real-time bandwidth monitoring and SNMP functionality
The licensing policy needs to change. The current model requires customers to purchase a minimum of two thousand licenses, which is not flexible for all customers. They should consider a more flexible licensing approach. Furthermore, alignment with customer expectations rather than offering numerous features that are not requested would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."
"The solution offers perfect real-time bandwidth monitoring and SNMP functionality."
"I would recommend PRTG Enterprise Monitor to others as it works well with Android devices, and you can try the free version before purchasing."
"The product's most valuable feature is network analysis."
"It provides a vast array of options for dashboard creation and monitoring of the activities within the environment."
"The product is easy to understand."
"From a technical perspective, the product's most valuable feature is SNMP, an open standard monitoring protocol that works across various network devices and operating systems, including UNIX and Windows."
"It can identify downtimes and disruptions."
"PRTG is good and very easy to use."
 

Cons

"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"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."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
"The dashboard could include more features."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"They should work on minimizing false positives by sending alerts promptly and confirming errors with minimal troubleshooting requirements."
"The licensing policy needs to change."
"The solution could be improved by introducing security features similar to those available in Teams, as the current version only monitors devices and does not integrate IoT or OT devices."
"PRTG Enterprise Monitor should include more functionalities and features that are similar to SolarWinds."
"The licensing policy needs to change. The current model requires customers to purchase a minimum of two thousand licenses, which is not flexible for all customers."
"The solution could be improved by including a processing monitor, possibly with a language interface like Lua, allowing for writing custom sensors and processing outcomes of inputs."
"In my opinion, one area that could be improved in PRTG Enterprise Monitor is the capability to send SMS notifications. Notifications are crucial for alerting us to areas that require attention."
"When it comes to dashboard customization in PRTG Enterprise Monitor, there are not too many options, and I think that would not be a strong point for PRTG, but for our use cases, we do not really need that kind of customization."
