ManageEngine OpManager vs. ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer

OpManager offers a set of advantages that allow it to adapt to the needs of the company, guaranteeing effective monitoring of the application networks used in our organization. It has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. The initial setup went smoothly and in a decent amount of time.

If you need to monitor traffic, this is a good choice of application for the price. It does that very well. If you need to take a deep deep dive into the traffic, you will have to use something else but that is just standard with network troubleshooting... it takes multiple applications to get a complete picture... or a lot of money on 1 application. Beyond that, this application does what it is designed to do and does it very well. So to answer this question directly, this application is well suited for time when you need a high-level view of traffic and not suited well for times when you need to see more detailed information of what exactly is being sent.

• We changed our RDP port to a non-standard port and monitor servers by that instead of a simple ping. Systems that are busted will still respond to pings.
• The dashboard shows us any drives that are almost full. We check this when we do our monthly maintenance.
• Monitoring Windows services and event log events and sending notifications when things don't behave as expected.

• Network Bandwidth Utilization
• Aid in performance troubleshooting
• Reporting

• Adding devices to existing groups and applying a group-wide parameter.
• Email alerts can be a bit challenging depending on how email is managed within a company, sometimes adding ManageEngine OpManager to the allowed relay list for Exchange is necessary to receive any alerts

• The interface could stand to flow a little better. It is functional, but there is room for improvement.
• The dashboard creation process is just incomplete. For example, it would be nice to be able to add in a widget for IP groups.

This product works very well for our organization, and it would be hard to not have a tool like this going forward

The rating I provided is based on the product quality, experience (I have been using OpManager for almost the last 4 years), and relevance of the information/response I generated through Manage Engine OpManager. I have also received good support from OpManager.

Because the dashboard is visually appealing and offers a wide range of functionality and users can create tailored reports.

At first, we were not able to add our Avaya switches to the configuration backup module, our partner tried to help, but they did not find the solution, we had one remote session with tech support of ME and they solve the problem.

The support is always on point, fast, reliable, and their employees go above and beyond to help when we need it. I have yet to call them on any product we use and not get the issue resolved in a fast and timely manner. Also, they are also very pleasant while on the phone and/or in teh email chain. Overall I just couldn't ask for better.

We have an existing relationship with Manage Engine. Manage engine was a better product in comparison with the other products. It has as option to have addons like network configuration Manager, Firewall log analyzer, switch port mapper, Ip address manager and packet analyzer. Manage engine has an excellent customer support who are always available and response is quick

Each of these solutions does what they aim to do. Based off of cost and need, ManageEngine fit better with our organization. We already use multiple ManageEngine products so bundling was a no brainer.

• ROI has very much increased as we are able to fix issues in a faster manner.
• Monitoring for system administrators has become easy using ManageEngine OpManager getting a centralized view.
• Alerts are helping during odd hours where manual intervention is not possible.

• Lot of positive impacts
• Low Budget
• Great results
