Learn what your peers think about ManageEngine OpManager. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: January 2026.
881,114 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable product, however, it does tend to experience security vulnerability, particularly within the database module.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have found this solution to be pretty scalable.
How are customer service and support?
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.
The frontline support doesn't understand the solution they are working with, and it can take months for an issue to be resolved.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The setup for this solution is fairly challenging; it is easy to download and deploy, but complicated to configure and customize.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented the solution in-house, with support from the vendor technician team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licenses for this product depend on the number of devices you want to implement it on within your infrastructure. For example, if we want to monitor applications and IP staff, they will count how many applications we wish to monitor. The prices are then driven by the category of asset, such as network devices, operating systems, etc.
What other advice do I have?
I would suggest that organizations first understand their needs and requirements, understand what they really wish to monitor, and take some time to test the product before they start to implement it into their environment. If the environment is very complex, or very large then this may not be the right solution.
However, once this product is tailored and organized according to their needs, then it is very stable and reliable.
I would rate this solution a six out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

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."
- "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 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.

Pros and Cons
- "It is easy to use and deploy."

I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
