ManageEngine OpManager Reviews

We use OpManager for the health checkup of our own server's network devices and applications. We use the basic options.

The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs.

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 setup should be lightweight and not slow. The performance should be improved.

I've been using it for more than eight years.

ManageEngine OpManager is stable.

We have five to six people accessing this solution through the console.

OpManager technical support is good. I would give them a ten out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is very simple.

The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate ManageEngine OpManager a nine.

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 ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors.

It's a standard monitoring tool. It doesn't have a lot of extra features. It's primarily used for low-level monitoring.

Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution. 

There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds. We have seen endpoint collections lag, there has been some choking with a particular link, and it doesn't record properly.

ManageEngine OpManager should include drill-down features. If for example, we wanted to monitor a particular link closely, it should not be an option, it should available.

We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely.

We have been using ManageEngine OpManager for the last five years.

ManageEngine OpManager is a stable solution.

We have one admin user, who logs in.

We have had several concerns with ManageEngine OpManager's scalability; it consumes a lot of resources.

We did not receive adequate support when we had problems during the installation. They take too much time to get it done.

I would rate them a two out of five.

Neutral

I have also worked with SolarWinds Network Device Monitor. It has been deployed on-premises.

We use SolarWinds Network Device Monitor to closely monitor links, which is not a feature that is available in ManageEngine OpManger.

There are significant differences when compared to SolarWinds. First and foremost, the accuracy will be completely different. When we use SolarWinds, we conduct a lot of proof-of-concept work, and occasionally we require specific data. We'll set up a trial enrollment at that time and collect the data. Which is different in ManageEngine. We can drill down if that particular graph is shown in SolarWinds. We cannot drill down in ManageEngine; instead, a five-minute countdown will begin. It will be correct every five minutes to one hour. If you raise the points, the links will be broken. I have approximately 3,000 links. If I increase that interval to one minute, it will consume more of the VMs.

SolarWinds is faster in terms of performance.

We have had some issues with the initial setup. We struggled to complete the installation.

When compared with SolarWinds, the pricing is a little lower. We chose the same because of the commercial aspect.

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

I would rate ManageEngine OpManager a five out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for network monitoring, that is, firewall routing, switching, and application monitoring.

The product itself is very good.

The deployment isn't overly complicated.

We have found the solution to be stable. 

The pricing is too high, which is why we are considering other options.

There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop.

ManageEngine provides things in different layers, so it's not all in the same product.

Technical support could be better.

They need to work on the user-friendliness of the solution.

The stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We've found it to be reliable. 

The solution is scalable, so long as you have the right licensing. 

Technical support isn't as good as it could be and is a service that needs work.

The solution is neither easy nor hard to set up. I'm pretty neutral on the process of implementation. It depends on the customer and the scope.

The cost of the solution is too high.

Due to the price of the solution, we're looking into what else might be available.

We're considering nGeniusONE for a customer.

I am a partner, cybersecurity partner, in Sri Lanka.

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. Our issue is mainly with pricing. Technical support also should be improved. More than that, the product has to be feasible in order for me to take it to the customer. I have a couple of potential customers who are truly looking for a different product than this. It just isn't going to give them what they need.

That said, I would recommend OpManager as there are other products I have seen that are not even up to the standard of OpManager.

We are mainly using it for Windows operating systems.

It is easy to use and deploy.

We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices.

Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have.

We have been using this solution for around 18 months.

I don't have direct access to their technical support. However, I am aware of some of the tickets that our clients have raised, and they seem to provide information in an easy way. Their technical support is good.

I was not a part of the deployment process, but based on what I know, it was easy to deploy.

We had evaluated other products, and we decided to go for OpManager because of its ease of use and cost.

I would recommend this solution. I feel comfortable working with it.

I would rate ManageEngine OpManager a nine out of ten.

OpManager monitors the uptime and the performance of the network, servers, and applications. Additionally, it monitors the condition of the RAM, the CPU, and memory. It also monitors any inbound applications. We get notifications of any downloads or devices making unauthorized requests. It runs the processes on both sides. If it finds something we get an alert. It will tell us what the problem is and give us directions as to how to fix it.  

Overall the environment is good. You can deploy it in an area of your network to evaluate risk. It can assess any unusual changes in what is going on. It is difficult to prevent IT intrusions. So if you use OpManager, it will make discoveries of unusual behaviors and give you reports. With that information, you can configure the IT to avoid those behaviors and you can avoid the potential issues.  

The only thing I can think of that might be improved is that it is just a heavy software. When we start it up with the archiving software, we sometimes experience some lag. The access on the console is a little bit slow. It might be that we need to improve our configuration to be sure it is correct. If we improve the way we work with it and make it a lighter load on the software, that may be a solution. Performance needs to be our crowning star. This product is little bit slow sometimes.  

If we improve the RAM, then maybe the performance will improve. It could be something that simple.  

We have been using OpManager for between seven and eight years.  

It is stable. That is part of the reason why we are using it for a long time. That is a definite fact.  

This product is used by the IT personnel. So it is the IT manager's domain, I suppose. Other users are not using this. Expanding the user base is not really necessary or likely.  

It may have some limitations in monitoring the network if it is extremely large. We have not experienced this. If there are performance issues the equipment may need an upgrade. This is a load issue and it is not the fault of the application.  

The support for the product is very good. They provided us the link for the product, we started the Windows server, they started the EFT (Electronic File Transfer). When we had downloaded the software, it started itself.  

If any support is required, then they give us the support we need. They respond as declared within our agreement within a four-hour window. I can depend on the response time of the support team.   

The maintenance is not required because hardware maintenance is not what we take care of. If the software reports that anything goes wrong and we not at all to understand the result, then we need to investigate and then fix that. This is our responsibility.  

So my general opinion is that the support is very good. 

In the initial setup, it is very easy to deploy. It supports SMB (Server Message Block) and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) protocol. So with SMB and WMI, it can support multiple platforms like Linux and Windows and Cisco devices.  

Considering the pricing, OpManager is actually one of the cheaper solutions in this category. When a new subscription is required for something additional like support and we add the required license, they charge a very little. So the initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable.  

In general, this product meets all our requirements, whatever our requirements are. I expect the product to perform as promised and use all the features that I need. It monitors the services, uptime, downtime, and that general requirement is met.  

I think I have no real implementation requirements. They are also constantly improving by resolving some bugs and they also add some additional features. For example, now if we want to monitor file integrity and IT management, we can do that.  

They also provide all services through the same console. If you want to, you can get other functionality through OpManager add-ons. If you want a service, you just buy the subscription and use the add-ons and monitor the multiple services in a single console.  

There is firewall monitoring, network monitoring, application monitoring, and network configuration is also provided. For some things, an additional license is required.  

If you had seen the previous versions, it is obvious that they have improved. So as of now, we do not need to ask for any requirements to be fulfilled. The IT person really only needs the alerts and designation as medium, critical, or high priority. This tool does that and it is a good monitoring solution.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would have to rate it a nine. They get a good rating because of the support and the features. Whatever they communicate, they provide.  

Right now, we are using ManageEngine OpManager for network monitoring. We also use it for server and application monitoring. We monitor parameters of servers like CPU, RAM, and hard disk.

The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them.

We have found that the alerting in OpManaager is the most valuable. It alerts on CPU or if the server goes down.

It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated. They could make it easier to use. There should also be some better backup and recovery tools for the devices that you monitor.

We have been using ManageEngine OpManager for three years.

The stability of OpManager is very nice and good in network monitoring, and it provides all the particular functionality that we need.

The scalability of OpManager is very good.

We have not needed the technical support but we know it is there if we need it.

The initial setup was very simple. The deployment takes two to three days.

The initial setup was done in-house by our team. We started with a few people who added devices and then eventually we had other admins add there devices.

Choose the modules that you would need in your organization because they have other modules like Application Manager that we are not using currently.

I have used the solution for monitoring and reporting. 

The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring. 

The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed. 

I have used the solution three months ago. 

The solution is stable. 

The tool's deployment was easy and I just followed the steps in the documentation. The solution's deployment got completed in an hour. 

I did the tool's deployment by myself. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The solution is cheaper than SolarWinds but it lacks many of the latter's features. SolarWinds has a major grip on the reporting and monitoring system. You can use this solution if you have budgetary constraints and do not need intense reporting.
