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.

Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

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

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."

"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."

"The setup was easy."

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

"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."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

Cons

"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."

"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

"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."

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

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."

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

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

"The licensing model is confusing."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly affordable"

"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."

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

"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."

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

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

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

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

More ManageEngine OpManager pricing and cost advice

"The solution is a bit expensive because the annual license does not include new features that are priced as add-ons."
