Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"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."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"Real-time analytics is the major weakness of the SolarWinds NPM platform today. They've done a fantastic job enabling the collection of data. Users are now demanding the ability to generate their own graphs, views, and so on; all of this must be done by an admin today."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"The integration needs to be improved."
