Pros

"In general, this product meets all our requirements, whatever our requirements are."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"Rich GUI tool to monitor infrastructure."
"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."
"Once it was set up and running, there were no issues with it, and it seems to run fairly well."
"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."
"However, once this product is tailored and organized according to their needs, then it is very stable and reliable."

Cons

"Based on the high cost, I'd rate the solution six out of ten. I don't know if I would recommend it."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."
