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.

Threat detection failures, poor technical support, and expensive

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product itself is very good."
"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."
"The initial setup of OpManager is very easy and straightforward."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training, which is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"This solution is very easy because the pricing was not that high and the setup wasn't complicated, and it was very good for our environment."
"The installation is easy."
"The solution offers so many great resources, it makes them a powerhouse in the market."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
"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 support for this solution needs to be improved significantly, to the point where we will no longer be using some of the available products because we cannot get the required support for them."
"There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds."
"Based on the high cost, I'd rate the solution six out of ten. I don't know if I would recommend it."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"We now use ConnectWise because while using SolarWinds we were attacked by ransomware. The solution did not protect us."
"We did not like SolarWinds because it was not able to communicate between UPSA and our accounting system. They should have better integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"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."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The price of SolarWinds Network Automation Manager is fair. However, it is more expensive than ConnectWise."
