NetFlow monitoring has improved operations but needs better configurations

For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface. When I add the interface, I am confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint. If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure. Another issue is with threshold values; sometimes, it shows kilobytes (kB) while our threshold is set to gigabytes. This can be confusing. Improving this aspect would be beneficial. In URL monitoring, there is room for enhancement.

Useful online resources, customizable, and highly effective monitoring

The solution is useful for tweaking. However, there have been some negative experiences, such as limited report capabilities. The only report available is in PDF format, making it difficult for teams managing multiple servers to extract data in Excel format. The speaker recommends that the team improve the report capabilities to better serve users. If there are corrupt files the data can be extracted from them. Anyone who wants to see the performance of memory usage, such as whether it's at 80 to 90 percent, can use this tool. However, other tools can provide this information in two minutes, this tool is more time-consuming and the report it provides is not very effective for practical use. When it comes to reports, the tool falls short. During a recent call, it was noted that while the company has distributed servers across the globe, only the master server can accommodate the reports and events, causing delays. If other servers experience issues, the team cannot view the reporting or tag things, such as for troubleshooting purposes. If this aspect was improved it would be an excellent tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."

"It is easy to use and deploy."

"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 alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"

"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

"With limited hardware or a virtual machine, you can address a huge network, hundreds of thousands of elements that need to be monitored. Other commercial software is not on that level."

"The best feature is that it is very relatable, stable, and scalable. The logger is a part of the software, but it's not the most important point of it."

"OP5 Monitor is a great choice due to its being built on an open-source monitoring tool and provides ample opportunity for customization based on specific support requirements. It is also user-friendly and easy to manage with a wide range of plugins available for use. In comparison to other enterprise tools, such as Micro Focus, OP5 Monitor stands out for its features and cost-effectiveness, making it the best tool in the market. Customization is one of the key strengths of the tool and provides a lot of capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to find support and plugins for the tool through online resources."

"It monitors and continuously tests everything that is of importance to you and your users. It could be everything from monitoring disk space to CPU usage to memory. It could include determining if the response time in your e-commerce platform is quick enough, or whether you have too many bounces from some of the pages on your website. You want to monitor anything that could cost you money or time or resources. You can do that with this system. It's very flexible."

"The API makes it pretty easy to integrate with any system."

"We can also observe whatever we want, and there are no limitations."

Cons

"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."

"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."

"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."

"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."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

"The solution is useful for tweaking. However, there have been some negative experiences, such as limited report capabilities. The only report available is in PDF format, making it difficult for teams managing multiple servers to extract data in Excel format. The speaker recommends that the team improve the report capabilities to better serve users."

"They need to improve the dashboard interface."

"OP5 lacks some visualization, a feature that makes some other products nice. Op5 is built for purpose, which is fine, but if you compare it with some new products, the visualization is not so appealing, especially for management... If you don't need fancy visualizations, OP5 is fine."

"IT environments today are in constant flux. This is driven by the newer cloud technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker, etc. The whole Nagios-based monitoring system that OP5 is created on top of, is based on a host-service model. There is a need for a strategy on what to do with more dynamic environments. There is some cool stuff going on in that direction."

"The user interface is not what we are used to these days, and should be improved."

"We do not get performance reports properly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

"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."

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"The pricing is moderate."

More ManageEngine OpManager pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the license and support are separate. If you want platinum call support, it will cost more than a regular call. I did not opt for it, as it is an additional cost."

"It was not expensive. And because it's less demanding in terms of hardware, you don't have to pay for another SQL or other database license, and you can have a huge installation on one machine..."

"OP5 has a very low price as a solution, compared to many other solutions out there."
