Flexibility and detailed performance stats enable effective network monitoring
Spectrum is very good at monitoring all network faults and configurations. It enables me to take action based on network issues. The Performance Management provides detailed network performance stats, including CPU, memory, and interface bandwidth. Additionally, Spectrum is flexible and allows me to organize and treat devices uniquely without impacting other devices.

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

"The biggest selling point is putting the power of creating dashboards and reports into end users' hands."
"​The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards.​"
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"The reporting feature has allowed us to quickly share information with customers, keeping them up to date on critical devices that are being monitored."
"The technical support from CA Performance Management was very good."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"You can create intelligent alerts so you have enough time to replace the router or interface before it's full. The same is applicable for CBQoS channels.​"
"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."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization, as we can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"We monitor customer networks with it and the performance is extremely good."
"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."
"Customer Service: Excellent. It was on my initial contact that the rep suggested I wait a day to download the product, as more functionality would be added to the free version."
"ManageEngine OpManager has given us the ability to monitor real-time performance, and positions of our virtual machines and host machines, helping us minimize the amount of time it takes to manage them by allowing us to monitor all machines through a single dashboard instead of going to them one by one."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors."
 

Cons

"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"I would say the initial setup is complex."
"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."
"Policies could be improved."
"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."
"One of the greatest challenges we have encountered are the polling cycles."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"The pricing of the solution is high."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view; when I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface and get confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint."
"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."
"The support of ManageEngine OpManager could improve. We had two issues and the support was not able to solve our issue."
"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."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"Support is very bad. They should improve support and customer relationship."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"The product is not worth the money."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"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."
"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."
