Quick identification of network issues enhances performance monitoring
We will try to Proof of Concept (POC) to a client in Taiwan. We just use the features for the Network Performance Monitor (NPM) Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly. We need this solution to monitor the network performance. We started using it three…
Charles A - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."
"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."
"The solution is stable."
"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
 

Cons

"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."
"I do not know the detailed pricing."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"The licensing price could be better."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could be better."
"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."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"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 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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
