Ashutosh Jha - PeerSpot reviewer
Project engineer at IT Solution india private limited
Centralized monitoring has highlighted limited device control but has improved proactive actions
I have configured adaptive thresholds on servers while using ManageEngine OpManager. If there is high CPU utilization or storage usage, the system will notify me or reset the system or reset the services. ManageEngine OpManager has multiple features that are valuable to our organization. We have integrated our firewall into ManageEngine OpManager, and it provides us notifications for firewall issues as well. ManageEngine OpManager provides an adaptive threshold feature that is very effective. The alerts and the ability to restart services or computers or end devices in ManageEngine OpManager are what I find most valuable. If we have set performance monitoring adaptive thresholds and they exceed the configured value, the system will take action automatically. We can also integrate our switches and access points and control them from ManageEngine OpManager.

High performance, quick packet monitoring, and helpful support
The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately. In a feature release of the solution they should add features related to automation and remediation. Automation would help increase level of security the solution provides.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"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."
"We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with the speed of their answers."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to deploy; it's also easy to manage and monitor the environment, and instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"We had evaluated other products, and we decided to go for OpManager because of its ease of use and cost."
"The most valuable features of NIKSUN NetVCR are its performance and forensic capabilities. Additionally, the information that the solution provides is highly detailed and useful. When dealing with network traffic packets can be sent at a high speed causing some security issues, but this solution is able to rapidly monitor the packets providing security."
"NIKSUN provides you with the why, what, when and where type of answers to all your network problems."
"The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps also. It offers report granularity in nanoseconds."
 

Cons

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."
"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."
"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."
"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe."
"The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The price of the solution is high. There is an annual license costs."
