The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation. The learning materials are very limited, and there is also a limitation of support SLA. It takes a huge amount of time to resolve certain issues when ManageEngine OpManager technical support gets involved. The expertise of support is limited. Reporting could be improved with more details. The content and richness can be improved on the reports. To make ManageEngine OpManager a better product, the first priority is improving the after-sales support and learning materials for local engineers and partners to enhance their capacities and expertise. The second priority is improving the product itself, including dashboards and reporting enrichment. Lastly, new feature adoption such as DLP or endpoint monitoring should be considered. Features that should be offered include DLP, Privileged User Access, data classification, and MDR. These are features that can be groomed around the MMS if properly configured.

Threat detection failures, poor technical support, and expensive
We use the solution to manage all of our customer's systems. We monitor and decide if everything is okay and if not, we do changes when needed. For example, if there is a need to change the antivirus software we can automate the process and install the new one. There are scripts within the software…

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 most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts, as the administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately, and this is the feature we value and use the most."
"The solution is finely stable."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"We use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"Overall, I give the product a rating of ten."
"The installation is easy."
"The solution offers so many great resources, it makes them a powerhouse in the market."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the solution."
 

Cons

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"One challenge in ManageEngine OpManager is that improvements are needed because a customer using the solution has Check Point firewall and needs to monitor their VPN tunnels, but there is no option currently available for that."
"Also, every time I perform a version upgrade, something breaks."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product. This would be better because compared to other products, the vendor is very slow at enhancing the solution."
"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."
"We now use ConnectWise because while using SolarWinds we were attacked by ransomware. The solution did not protect us."
"We did not like SolarWinds because it was not able to communicate between UPSA and our accounting system. They should have better integration."
"The price could be a bit lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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 price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"The product is not worth the money."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"The price of SolarWinds Network Automation Manager is fair. However, it is more expensive than ConnectWise."
