Centralized monitoring has highlighted limited device control but has improved proactive actions
I have configured adaptive thresholds on servers while using ManageEngine OpManager. If there is high CPU utilization or storage usage, the system will notify me or reset the system or reset the services. ManageEngine OpManager has multiple features that are valuable to our organization. We have integrated our firewall into ManageEngine OpManager, and it provides us notifications for firewall issues as well. ManageEngine OpManager provides an adaptive threshold feature that is very effective. The alerts and the ability to restart services or computers or end devices in ManageEngine OpManager are what I find most valuable. If we have set performance monitoring adaptive thresholds and they exceed the configured value, the system will take action automatically. We can also integrate our switches and access points and control them from ManageEngine OpManager.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We had evaluated other products, and we decided to go for OpManager because of its ease of use and cost."
"This solution is very easy because the pricing was not that high and the setup wasn't complicated, and it was very good for our environment."
"However, once this product is tailored and organized according to their needs, then it is very stable and reliable."
"We run weekly and monthly reports to provide exceptions, and it's helped our organization remediate problems proactively."
"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"The product has the best firewall features."
 

Cons

"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence, in particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds."
"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."
"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 only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive."
"The product is not suitable for small businesses. Its price needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonably priced."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The product is not worth the money."
"WatchTower Security Management App is an expensive product."
