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.

A cost-effective solution to monitor customer networks
We are not getting any issues with the integrations. Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management. People must rely on and utilize it to enhance anything they want to increase, as it helps minimize the product. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"In general, this product meets all our requirements, whatever our requirements are."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"ManageEngine OpManager has many beneficial features that bring value to enterprises, allowing them to manage from 1,000 to 10,000 devices in one console, with multiple add-ons enhancing its utility, such as Firewall Analyzer, which optimizes rules and displays all rules in the firewall."
"We use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors."
"The solution is scalable."
"We run weekly and monthly reports to provide exceptions, and it's helped our organization remediate problems proactively."
"Versa Director's best feature is the ease of configuration and customer and vendor management."
"I think the most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful."
"Versa Director is a beneficial product for the environment my company has."
"The most valuable feature of Versa Director is analytics."
"Versa Director has easier customer reports, utilization monitoring, graphic shaping monitoring, configuration, template shaping, and deduplication compared to Fortinet and Cisco."
"Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management."
 

Cons

"Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The dashboard could include additional features."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"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."
"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."
"It requires some simplification."
"Versa Director's on-prem SD-WAN hardware and SSL VPN software are not integrated, so you have to buy a separate subscription for the SSL VPN."
"Versa could be more AI-oriented."
"I think the one area that could be improved is that there are a lot of features; that is also an advantage but it makes things a little difficult, so I'd like to see some simplification so that there is less bloat."
"Versa Director's deployment process is not the best."
"What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good."
 

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."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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 solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Having to buy separate licenses for the on-prem SD-WAN hardware and SSL VPN software makes Versa Director very costly compared to other solutions like Fortinet and Cisco."
