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.

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

"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."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"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."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is finely stable."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
 

Cons

"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"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."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It's very expensive."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"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 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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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 solution is highly affordable"
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
