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.

Dynamic discovery and effective network topology make IT monitoring valuable
The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine. It covers the entire span of the infrastructure, including servers and network operations. It also adapts well to different environments, showing network topology effectively, making the network monitoring tool quite valuable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."
"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."
"We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards."
"The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
"The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
 

Cons

"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"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."
"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."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
"It may need a more customizable UI."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The product is not worth the money."
"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."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"Micro Focus' price is on the higher side, but there are other products like CA products and IBM that are more expensive. At the same time, you have to compare the maturity level of the solutions."
