Principal Consultant at KyndleIT Consulting
A stable tool that helps identify the complete flow analysis in a network
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the complete flow analysis can be identified through the tool. The classification of each protocol and how the bandwidth utilization is happening with the protocols while managing to get SLAs, IP protocols, and QoS metrics is possible because of the product.
Ashutosh Jha - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized monitoring has highlighted limited device control but has improved proactive actions
I have configured adaptive thresholds on servers while using ManageEngine OpManager. If there is high CPU utilization or storage usage, the system will notify me or reset the system or reset the services. ManageEngine OpManager has multiple features that are valuable to our organization. We have integrated our firewall into ManageEngine OpManager, and it provides us notifications for firewall issues as well. ManageEngine OpManager provides an adaptive threshold feature that is very effective. The alerts and the ability to restart services or computers or end devices in ManageEngine OpManager are what I find most valuable. If we have set performance monitoring adaptive thresholds and they exceed the configured value, the system will take action automatically. We can also integrate our switches and access points and control them from ManageEngine OpManager.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"Anomaly Detector - This detects the anomaly flows in infra environment and makes job easy to analyze issue."
"For supporting flow-traffic monitoring, this product is the best option."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"The custom report is the most valuable feature."
"Despite the low level of support, I would still fully recommend this product, because even when not all the features are used, the advantage of having such a wealth of useful information about the network traffic in real time, together with such flexibility of its presentation, is undeniable."
"Managing platforms and network device virtualization on one platform is beneficial."
"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"The solution is easy to deploy; it's also easy to manage and monitor the environment, and instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The setup was easy."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
 

Cons

"If one is able to find it at all, the documentation is often no help."
"Enhanced support should be given with APIs that work to maintain collected information."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Prefer this product only if the scope of flow analysis is vast and for a limited scope I don’t prefer this product since the product licenses are very costly and it is a waste of money."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"Sometimes the custom report jammed in the MYSQL database."
"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."
"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 only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive."
"This solution is not suitable for enterprise-sized deployments, as it sometimes hangs and needs to be restarted."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes."
"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 dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"Stability regarding upgrades, sometimes impacting database issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you make a DX NetOps-based purchase and the complete suite of products that fall under DX NetOps from Broadcom, then you get Network Flow Analysis along with DX NetOps Performance Management and DX Spectrum."
"The product is not worth the money."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"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."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
