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

"We have found the solution to be stable."
"ManageEngine OpManager allows us to manage all our organization's firewalls, switches, and critical servers from a single console, requiring only one person to oversee all operations."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."
"Customer Service: Excellent. It was on my initial contact that the rep suggested I wait a day to download the product, as more functionality would be added to the free version."
"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."
"ManageEngine OpManager has many beneficial features that bring value to enterprises, allowing them to manage from 1,000 to 10,000 devices in one console, with multiple add-ons enhancing its utility, such as Firewall Analyzer, which optimizes rules and displays all rules in the firewall."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"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."
"It may need a more customizable UI."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"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."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"It is reasonably priced."
"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."
