Reporting features improve operational efficiency while weekend support needs enhancement

Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades. During weekends, they need to provide more support to ensure a smooth transition. There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality. Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.

Cloud Architect - Senior Technology Architect at Telstra

Generates close to real-time alerts so users can resolve issues, but needs more integration and public cloud monitoring features

As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"The solution is finely stable."

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

"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."

"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."

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

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."

"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."

"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."

"It's easy to use."

"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."

"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."

"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."

Cons

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"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 installation of ManageEngine OpManager was difficult mainly due to the business view feature, as many customers in Vietnam want the team to develop more detailed capabilities regarding the business view."

"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."

"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."

"The AI aspect needs to improve."

"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."

"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."

"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"

"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"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."

"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 solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."

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

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"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."

More ManageEngine OpManager pricing and cost advice

"There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I'm rating the solution three out of five."

"It depends on the customer, what he wants."

"It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."

"The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
