ManageEngine OpManager vs WhatsUp Gold comparison

"The solution is scalable."

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."

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

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

"It is easy to use and deploy."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"

"The tool's most valuable feature is the visibility it offers of everything in the network and infrastructure."

"Our local support team provides excellent service."

"NetFlow monitoring, real-time monitoring, and surveys have been the most valuable features for our business."

"Auto scanning is most valuable. It looks for rogue devices on your network."

"The solution effectively monitors network devices and servers."

"The best feature of WhatsUp Gold is the automatic generation of topology and its integration with virtualization and wireless."

"The interactive mapping interface for scrolling, zooming, and drilling down on an element to learn about a network issue is good. When we see a network there will sometimes be a spot that has one link. You can go into a particular part of the topology map, scroll in, and see exactly which module it is."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of resources."

"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. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."

"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."

"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 dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."

"I would like to see them do an enhancement to the application monitoring. A lot of other products do better application monitoring so they should do some improvements to the application monitoring."

"The initial setup of WhatsUp Gold is a medium range of difficulty levels. However, if it is your first time it could be difficult."

"The interface needs some work."

"Improvements are needed in integration, especially for WhatsApp call and messages. Our region heavily uses WhatsApp Messenger for communication, and integration with this platform would be beneficial."

"Improvements are needed in integration, especially for WhatsApp call and messages."

"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."

"I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."

"We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology."

"It is reasonably priced."

"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."

"The pricing is moderate."

"The product is not worth the money."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

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

"There is a license needed to use WhatsUp Gold."

"The price of WhatsUp Gold is good."

"The choice of version depends on the number of points, or devices, that you want to monitor, and this makes the product expensive."

"The most valuable feature is the cost compared to other solutions."

"I'm not sure, but it's expensive. We don't pay any additional fees."

"The tool's price is reasonable. WhatsUp Gold is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"This is a well priced solution."

"The pricing can be on the expensive side when considering competing products."
