ManageEngine OpManager Reviews

Our primary use case is securing the appliance. I look after security compliance within my organization.

The reason we are still using it, is that so far, we are happy with the overall solution.

The tool is user-friendly which is the number one thing I love about it. The feedback that I've received from the team, it's user-friendly. The dashboard is very rich and very interactive. The UI is very interactive. It's easy to set up and configure. These are the top three features I liked in this solution. 

When there are so many solutions, with that case improvement, it's extra developing an emerging market.  Sophos is one of the products the team recently experienced. 

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience with Sophos EndPoint Central because the tool did not work as expected. It actually interfered. It hampered our production environment. So, we were not happy with the solution and had to roll back all of the Sophos agents we had installed in our environment.

Because of the security and overall performance issue, the tool did not work as expected. So, there were a lot of complications with the tool.

The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance. The team is looking for a network monitoring and management solution that is reliable and does not interfere with their production environment.

It has been seven to eight months because we recently procured it. It's a SaaS solution, so it's a cloud-based product.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. There are over thousand end users using this solution. We use it on a daily basis. 

We have our own solutions, which we use for our in-house and some other third-party solutions.

The setup was easy. When it comes to setup with Sophos, the setup is easy. Quite straightforward. But when it comes to actually managing or monitoring the solution, the policies, so the worst part of the product is Sophos abruptly or suddenly changes its policies. It does a lot of things in the background, and the administrator is not at all aware of it. So, it becomes very difficult for the administrator to troubleshoot the exact issue that probably got caused because of Sophos. So, the management of Sophos is difficult.

The deployment took a couple of days. 

The deployment was done in-house. Only two people are required for the deployment process. They were network admins. 

We have a dedicated team for maintenance. 

I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low and ten is high price.

It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing. 

We were looking at the other competitors in the market. Trend Micro is a very strong contender when it comes to endpoint security. So that's the reason our organization decided to proceed with Trend Micro, or we will be proceeding with Trend Micro from next year.

I would recommend using the solution. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

The primary use is for network infrastructure monitoring, however, there are three editions. There is the professional, there is the enterprise, and there is the OpManager Plus. Personally, I prefer the OpManager Plus since it monitors everything including network routers, switches, servers, virtual machines, virtual machine hosts, storage, and firewalls, and all-in-one solution. I generally prefer OpManager Plus edition.

We like that now we can monitor the entire infrastructure, servers, temperature applications, and house for virtual machines. It's all-encompassing monitoring. We can watch everything that is connected to the network.

It's much simpler to use this solution than the regular version. With the regular version, you have to do an add-on for everything. If you want to monitor a database, you have to buy an add-on for the application. If you want to monitor a firewall, you need a license for firewalls. 

The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great. The monitoring of servers that host services is very important since you can see a problem before it becomes a problem. Monitoring the firewall screen is a good way of preventing breaches. Also, monitoring the storage rather than switching from screen to screen to my monitor the storage has been very useful. I monitor the infrastructure and from one screen, you can see every problem for everything that is connected to your network.

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. I don't really have another feature to add.

I've been using the solution for eight to ten years. 

The stability is ten out of ten. The solution never fails. 

OpManager Enterprise has unlimited scalability. OpManager Plus goes to only 1000 devices in the application. So OpManager Enterprise has limitless scalability. OpManager Plus is limited to 1000. 

The setup is straightforward. The only thing that takes time is registering every device that is in the network. For every switch, you need to provide its credentials. For every router, the same. So every device needs to be enrolled in the platform. That takes some manual labor, especially if there are different accounts for each device. You have to enroll them, create the keys, create the credentials, then enroll them.

Installing the solution takes two to three hours. Configuring the solution and implementing every device in a network can take from days to maybe months. It depends on the number of devices and the complexity of the architecture where it is installed.

I'd rate the pricing six out of ten. 

I've seen other networks like Lansweeper and other solutions that provide network monitoring, and the prices are similar.

There can be add-ons involved. Add-ons depends on the license of OpManager. If you have OpManager Plus, you have very few add-ons. If you have OpManager Enterprise, you need an add-on for everything you want to monitor, from database, application, servers, VM host, et cetera.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm on. 

It is a good return on investment. It is a workload simplified. You can see everything on the screen. You get reports and secure your network, and also get notified if something is wrong or something might happen.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs. 

We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation. 

I would rate the product's stability a seven point five out of ten. 

The solution is scalable. 

The product's response is slow. 

The tool's setup is straightforward. 

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

I would rate the product a seven out of ten. 

We use the product to monitor service equipment. 

The product provides intensive reports. 

You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper. 

I have been using the product for a couple of months. 

ManageEngine OpManager is stable. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

I rate ManageEngine OpManager's scalability a seven point five out of ten. My company has four users. 

ManageEngine OpManager's deployment and maintenance is easy and takes three days to complete. You need two resources to handle the process. 

The tool's licensing costs are yearly. 

I rate the product an eight out of ten. The choice of equipment and scale depends on your specific needs. For small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), basic sets of equipment may suffice.

We primarily use the solution to monitor devices. It has the ability to monitor uptime and performance.

The detections, when they work right, are helpful. 

The detections are fine when they work. 

It is not doing a good job of monitoring items such as uptime and performance. 

We get a lot of false alerts.

It needs better reliability. 

I've used the solution for five to six years. 

The customer service is not very good. I find it to be awful. 

There are language barriers, and there are windows of support. You've got to pick when they're available. They're not actually available when you need them.

We've had to redeploy it a couple of times. I was involved in the redeployments due to how bad it was.

It's a bit complex to set up. There are too many customizations that are difficult to get around. 

I'd rate the ease of implementation two out of ten.

We have not witnessed any ROI at this time. 

It is a bit pricey. I'd rate the solution's affordability four out of ten. 

I'm currently looking at other options that might be available as I do not like this particular product.

We are using the current version of the solution. 

I'd advise new users to be prepared to work for results. 

This is not a solution I would recommend. I'd rate the product four out of five overall. 

We use OpManager for monitoring our network devices.

Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly. 

There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment. 

I would like to see MDM for our VCM in this solution.

My company has been using this solution since 2015.

I use this product daily, and the stability is very good and reliable. 

This solution is very scalable. 

The ManageEngine technical support team is very available. 

Positive

The setup is not complex. It's really simple and there is documentation available. I would rate my initial setup experience as a five out of five.

We handled the deployment in-house. It took about five days, but much of that was prep time. 

I would tell someone considering this solution that the ManageEngine support team is very available and helpful, there is plenty of documentation, and the price compared to other products is very affordable.

I would rate this solution as a ten out of ten.

We use this solution for monitoring across applications, network performance, databases, and operating system performance.

We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable.

We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly.

We have been using this solution for a year.

This is a stable product, however, it does tend to experience security vulnerability, particularly within the database module.

We have found this solution to be pretty scalable.

The support for this solution needs to be improved significantly, to the point where we will no longer be using some of the available products because we cannot get the required support for them. 

The frontline support doesn't understand the solution they are working with, and it can take months for an issue to be resolved. 

Neutral

The setup for this solution is fairly challenging; it is easy to download and deploy, but complicated to configure and customize.

We implemented the solution in-house, with support from the vendor technician team.

The licenses for this product depend on the number of devices you want to implement it on within your infrastructure. For example, if we want to monitor applications and IP staff, they will count how many applications we wish to monitor.  The prices are then driven by the category of asset, such as network devices, operating systems, etc.

I would suggest that organizations first understand their needs and requirements, understand what they really wish to monitor, and take some time to test the product before they start to implement it into their environment. If the environment is very complex, or very large then this may not be the right solution.

However, once this product is tailored and organized according to their needs, then it is very stable and reliable.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We are using ManageEngine OpManager to manage our virtual machine and the host machine.

ManageEngine OpManager has given us the ability to monitor real-time performance, and positions of our virtual machines and host machines. It has helped us to minimize the amount of time it took to manage them. We previously had to go one by one to the machines, but through the dashboard of ManageEngine OpManager, we can monitor all machines.

The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine.

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.

I have been using ManageEngine OpManager for approximately three years

ManageEngine OpManager is stable.

The scalability of ManageEngine OpManager is good.

There are three people using this solution in my organization.

I have not used the support from ManageEngine OpManager.

We previously were using VMware Workspace ONE but we found the features we needed were easier in ManageEngine OpManager. However, we use find they both have the use cases that they excel in and this is why we use them in parallel, we use both.

ManageEngine OpManager's initial setup is of a medium level of difficulty. I used some tools for the installation and for customization.

I did the implementation myself of ManageEngine OpManager. 

The solution is easy to maintain.

We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon.

I rate the license cost of ManageEngine OpManager an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate ManageEngine OpManager an eight out of ten.
