Featured Reviews

Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.
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

"Its analytical capability is really good."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
 

Cons

"Maintenance is required for the system."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"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."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"It's very expensive."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"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."
"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."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
