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.
Pieter Plas - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at Beerepoot Automatisering B.V.
A solution with a great monitoring system and ability to control access remotely
The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment depends on the size of a customer. We make the customer in the enterprise server, and there is a download per customer for the installation package. We can also roll it out very easily, and when we install it on one or two systems, it explores the network for more systems. We can then fire a deployment package on the other systems. So in one hour, we can do a lot. Most of the time, 90% of the work is very easy, and the last 10% are the business-critical systems from a customer. Also, we manually install important customer systems, like special applications where we like to monitor specific services in the server itself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"We had evaluated other products, and we decided to go for OpManager because of its ease of use and cost."
"Our customers are seeing a clear return on investment with ManageEngine OpManager, which is why they continue using it and maintain the solution for a long time."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"They provide a lot of features; it's good and easy software."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
"One of the applications I have used the most was to troubleshoot users and I've never faced difficulties or issues with the application itself."
"So this solution allows for 24/7 support and is very handy."
"The setup is simple."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
 

Cons

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"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 main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"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."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view; when I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface and get confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"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."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"Remote Desktop Assistance for Mac endpoints - not having this functionality is a major inconvenience in having to have two systems for clients using this platform."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"Support needs to be improved because we've sometimes had to wait 24 hours to get a response."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
"Sometimes the speed is a problem. When I've been remote controlling people, from time to time, there were some issues with people in Hong Kong."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"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."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"The product is not worth the money."
