NetFlow monitoring has improved operations but needs better configurations
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. When I add the interface, I am confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint. If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure. Another issue is with threshold values; sometimes, it shows kilobytes (kB) while our threshold is set to gigabytes. This can be confusing. Improving this aspect would be beneficial. In URL monitoring, there is room for enhancement.

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."
"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."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
 

Cons

"The licensing price could be better."
"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."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"I do not know the detailed pricing."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."

"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."
"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."
"The price of the solution could be better."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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 product is not worth the money."
"It is reasonably priced."
