Easy to set up and well-priced, but feature enhancements are slow to be released
Pros and Cons
  • "Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
  • "I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor servers and network devices. 

What is most valuable?

We use the NetFlow add-on.

Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see more enhancements made to the product. This would be better because compared to other products, the vendor is very slow at enhancing the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ManageEngine OpManager for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of stability and performance, it's fine.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable product. We have approximately 500 users in the company.

We don't expect our usage of it to increase.

How are customer service and support?

We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with the speed of their answers.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy to do.

It took approximately two months to install and configure everything.

What about the implementation team?

The initial installation has to be done by the vendor but afterward, you can do the configuration yourself. Two people are required for deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side.

What other advice do I have?

This is a product that I can recommend to others.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

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

What is our primary use case?

I used it about six months ago. We implemented it in the last company I worked with. We were using it for patching, rolling out images, and other similar things.

We were using the most recent version.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Once it was set up and running, there were no issues with it. It seems to run fairly well.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable. I was the admin for this system, and we probably had over a thousand end-users. I was the only one who knew how to use it at the time.

How are customer service and support?

Their tech support was pretty good. For any issues we had, they'd come in and work with us and get them resolved pretty quickly.

How was the initial setup?

Its setup isn't very intuitive.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

They have a service where they come in and configure it or do the setup for you for a price. I don't remember the price, but it was pretty reasonable. If you're not familiar with the platform, that might be a good thing to go with, especially if you don't want to go in and do the ifs and buts trying to set it up. It would be a lot easier if you had them come and set it up for you. With all the alerting and everything else that you have to set up with it, it takes a minute to get it up and running and have everything the way you wanted.

I'd give it a nine out of 10. I was really happy with it.

Helps to track servers and monitor logs
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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

What needs improvement?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

The product's response is slow. 

How was the initial setup?

The tool's setup is straightforward.

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

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the product a seven out of ten.

Can push configurations to multiple devices at once and has a user-friendly interface
Pros and Cons
  • "I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."
  • "With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."

What is our primary use case?

We use it to monitor the network of our customers. Some have several branches around the country, and all their firewalls and switches are monitored by ManageEngine OpManager. We can see the exact time when a desk branch goes down and goes up again. We can also see if the tunnel interface is down because the customer is using site-to-site VPN.

We use the solution to monitor multiple vendors as well.

What is most valuable?

I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device.

The user interface is not complicated; it's easy to use.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with this solution for about a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have had issues with OpManager going down. Thus, I would rate OpManager's stability at seven out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For ManageEngine OpManager's ability to scale, I will give a rating of seven out of ten. The licensing is per node, so if you need to add multiple nodes, you may be limited by your license.

I manage approximately 85 to 100 devices through OPManager.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support staff were helpful when I contacted them. It was easy to contact them, and they responded directly.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not too complicated.

With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate ManageEngine OpManager at eight out of ten. The solution's technical support is very good, and support staff directly respond to you and contact you.

Provides good monitoring of devices and good utilization of links and nodes
Pros and Cons
  • "Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
  • "The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution to monitor alerts from network devices. I'm a system administrator and we  are customers of ManageEngine.

What is most valuable?

The monitoring of the devices and the utilization of links and nodes are good features.

What needs improvement?

The integration with various OEM products could be improved, it's currently quite complicated. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We only have 12 users but the solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

We've never needed to contact the technical support. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is on the expensive side.  

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Micro Focus and Infoblox as possible options but we had some budgetary issues that prevented us from switching. We would ideally like to shift to a different solution because of OpManager issues surrounding accurate data related to device monitoring.

Network monitoring solution that is stable, easy to set up and has great technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ManageEngine OpManager is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average.

What other advice do I have?

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

A simple, user-friendly solution with helpful support and plenty of documentation available
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use OpManager for monitoring our network devices.

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

My company has been using this solution since 2015.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is very scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

The ManageEngine technical support team is very available. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

A good product that is fairly stable but is too expensive
Pros and Cons
  • "We have found the solution to be stable."
  • "There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

The product itself is very good.

The deployment isn't overly complicated.

We have found the solution to be stable. 

What needs improvement?

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.

What do I think about the stability 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. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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

How was the initial setup?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost of the solution is too high.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

We're considering nGeniusONE for a customer.

What other advice do I have?

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.
