Reporting features improve operational efficiency while weekend support needs enhancement
Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades. During weekends, they need to provide more support to ensure a smooth transition. There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality. Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"Overall, I give the product a rating of ten."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"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."
"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."
"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."
"In my three years of experience with OpManager, we haven't encountered any issues. So, I'd rate it a nine out of ten. It's very stable."
 

Cons

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
"The licensing price could be better."
"I do not know the detailed pricing."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"It is reasonably priced."
