Sr.Network Engineer at NTT Security
Stable, difficult to install, and the technical support could be improved
Pros and Cons
- "Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
- "We use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors."
- "We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
- "There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds."
What is our primary use case?
We use ManageEngine OpManager to monitor our link status, latency, and errors.
What is most valuable?
It's a standard monitoring tool. It doesn't have a lot of extra features. It's primarily used for low-level monitoring.
Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution.
What needs improvement?
There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds. We have seen endpoint collections lag, there has been some choking with a particular link, and it doesn't record properly.
ManageEngine OpManager should include drill-down features. If for example, we wanted to monitor a particular link closely, it should not be an option, it should available.

I would rate them a two out of five.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also worked with SolarWinds Network Device Monitor. It has been deployed on-premises.
We use SolarWinds Network Device Monitor to closely monitor links, which is not a feature that is available in ManageEngine OpManger.
There are significant differences when compared to SolarWinds. First and foremost, the accuracy will be completely different. When we use SolarWinds, we conduct a lot of proof-of-concept work, and occasionally we require specific data. We'll set up a trial enrollment at that time and collect the data. Which is different in ManageEngine. We can drill down if that particular graph is shown in SolarWinds. We cannot drill down in ManageEngine; instead, a five-minute countdown will begin. It will be correct every five minutes to one hour. If you raise the points, the links will be broken. I have approximately 3,000 links. If I increase that interval to one minute, it will consume more of the VMs.
SolarWinds is faster in terms of performance.
How was the initial setup?
We have had some issues with the initial setup. We struggled to complete the installation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
When compared with SolarWinds, the pricing is a little lower. We chose the same because of the commercial aspect.
In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate ManageEngine OpManager a five out of ten.

We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with the speed of their answers.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy to do.
It took approximately two months to install and configure everything.

Technical Solution Specialist at Crypto-gen
A good product that is fairly stable but is too expensive
Pros and Cons
- "We have found the solution to be stable."
- "The product itself is very good."
- "There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
- "There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."

What is most valuable?
The product itself is very good.
The deployment isn't overly complicated.
We have found the solution to be stable.
What needs improvement?
The pricing is too high, which is why we are considering other options.
There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop.
ManageEngine provides things in different layers, so it's not all in the same product.
Technical support could be better.
They need to work on the user-friendliness of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We've found it to be reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable, so long as you have the right licensing.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support isn't as good as it could be and is a service that needs work.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is neither easy nor hard to set up. I'm pretty neutral on the process of implementation. It depends on the customer and the scope.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost of the solution is too high.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Due to the price of the solution, we're looking into what else might be available.
We're considering nGeniusONE for a customer.
What other advice do I have?
I am a partner, cybersecurity partner, in Sri Lanka.
I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. Our issue is mainly with pricing. Technical support also should be improved. More than that, the product has to be feasible in order for me to take it to the customer. I have a couple of potential customers who are truly looking for a different product than this. It just isn't going to give them what they need.
That said, I would recommend OpManager as there are other products I have seen that are not even up to the standard of OpManager.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Senior Information Technology Specialist at a philanthropy with 501-1,000 employees
I liked Network Configuration Manager, and it also had pretty good monitoring and alerts
Pros and Cons
- "I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
- "Once it was set up and running, there were no issues with it, and it seems to run fairly well."
- "The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
- "The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive."
What is our primary use case?
I used it about six months ago. We implemented it in the last company I worked with. We were using it for patching, rolling out images, and other similar things.
We were using the most recent version.
What is most valuable?
I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts.
What needs improvement?
The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Once it was set up and running, there were no issues with it. It seems to run fairly well.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. I was the admin for this system, and we probably had over a thousand end-users. I was the only one who knew how to use it at the time.
How are customer service and support?
Their tech support was pretty good. For any issues we had, they'd come in and work with us and get them resolved pretty quickly.
How was the initial setup?
Its setup isn't very intuitive.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
They have a service where they come in and configure it or do the setup for you for a price. I don't remember the price, but it was pretty reasonable. If you're not familiar with the platform, that might be a good thing to go with, especially if you don't want to go in and do the ifs and buts trying to set it up. It would be a lot easier if you had them come and set it up for you. With all the alerting and everything else that you have to set up with it, it takes a minute to get it up and running and have everything the way you wanted.
I'd give it a nine out of 10. I was really happy with it.
