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.
Himanshu Shah - PeerSpot reviewer

High performance, quick packet monitoring, and helpful support
The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately. In a feature release of the solution they should add features related to automation and remediation. Automation would help increase level of security the solution provides.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ManageEngine OpManager positively impacts organizations by allowing users to practically manage their network, so they can understand exactly what's happening and where the problems are coming from, ensuring proactive monitoring."
"The solution is scalable."
"OpManager technical support is good."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"We had a return on investment almost immediately in that a consistent up-time has been easier to achieve."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
"The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps also. It offers report granularity in nanoseconds."
"NIKSUN provides you with the why, what, when and where type of answers to all your network problems."
"The most valuable features of NIKSUN NetVCR are its performance and forensic capabilities. Additionally, the information that the solution provides is highly detailed and useful. When dealing with network traffic packets can be sent at a high speed causing some security issues, but this solution is able to rapidly monitor the packets providing security."
 

Cons

"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."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure."
"The support of ManageEngine OpManager could improve. We had two issues and the support was not able to solve our issue."
"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product. This would be better because compared to other products, the vendor is very slow at enhancing the solution."
"The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately."
"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of the solution is high. There is an annual license costs."
