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.

Has supported real-time event detection and reporting accuracy while database integration has required extra effort
Sometimes it may be difficult to incorporate new additional databases in NetMon, and we faced some challenges at that time. However, currently, it is not giving many challenges.It is difficult to integrate NetMon with other databases. We can customize NetMon's monitoring views, but it is done by the team who handles it, as it is outsourced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts, as the administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately, and this is the feature we value and use the most."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"Easy and agentless to deploy, service and support is excellent."
"The initial setup of OpManager is very easy and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"Rich GUI tool to monitor infrastructure."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward because we can deploy an open server."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"LogRhythm NetMon's most impressive feature is that it's a bundled package, so you're not just relying on monthly data; you get a six-month view for more comprehensive indicators of compromise. This dual approach is precious. We implement LogRhythm NetMon in our cybersecurity strategy mainly for compliance and correlation of network, user, and decision activities, particularly for network firewalls and access control."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"Compared to many other products in the market, I think LogRhythm has the highest cost to performance ratio in terms of its value."
"But just having it there, it's incredibly smart, incredibly easy to use, and the breadth of information we get off it is really good for investigations for us."
 

Cons

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"The main concern is that LogRhythm has not improved NetMon but instead introduced a separate product, which many customers, including us, would prefer to be integrated into a single platform for easier management."
"Our customers would always like to see additional features."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"LogRhythm's support team isn't responsive enough - it's common to wait a day or two for someone to deal with a case."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"The platform's integration features often need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly affordable"
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"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 price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"LogRhythm's licensing part is something that depends on the license you want since they offer it on a perpetual and subscription basis."
"Pricing is okay. There were some competitors that were extremely expensive and there were some which were really inexpensive but LogRhythm stayed in the middle of them."
"The price of this solution is too high, so it should be made more practical and more valuable for the customer."
"NetMon's licensing costs about $85k per year, with some extra costs for support."
"I don't have visibility into the pricing of LogRhythm NetMon as it's handled through our commercial partnerships."
"The product is expensive for smaller companies."
