    Chose SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM)
    SRM is a standout against all of the competitors really. If you own Orion, then this is a must-have module to integrate, especially with DPA, if you also have the module. Out of the box, it is a fantastic product. Whereas a product like Nagios requires development work to get …

    Manage Engine OpManager is better suited to serve server and network admins at organization to monitor their servers and network devices. It helps us with compliance with the reports available like utilization reports and capacity planning reports. It helps you to keep track of what all process are consuming the resources. It helps you in monitoring what is happening in your switches, routers and firewall

    SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) is pretty good at forecasting capacity consumption, which was a must for us. If you have LUNs that have high latency in a normal environment (user shares, for instance), you'll need to customize the alerts to tune out the noise. As with all SW modules and most other products, there is a time lag between what is in the console and what's happening now. Data in the console and alerts are typically 5 to 15 minutes old.

    Pros
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • It measures the CPU utilization of hosts, the network bandwidth utilization of links, and other aspects of the operation
    • It often sends messages—sometimes called watchdog messages—over the network to each host to verify if it is responsive to requests.
    • Set Up Notifications And Reports.
    • 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.

    • Unmasks storage performance metrics and gives a common dashboard for monitoring.
    • A simple, intuitive interface for adding supported storage frames.
    • Lineage -- "The guest OS is connected to the virtual host and the virtual host is connected to the ... wait, what LUN is that?!?" #SOLVED.

    Cons
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • Alerts has to be configured correctly otherwise unnecessary bombarding of alerts can cause inconvenience.
    • The server on which ManageEngine OpManager is to be deployed should have higher resources as monitoring a large number of devices may slow down the performance of the system.
    • Configuring the advanced features may require a learning curve.

    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.

    During our competitive analysis, we found ManageEngine OpManager was not expensive compared to other vendors. At the same time, there was no compromise on the features such as customized reporting or configuring alerts per our clientele's unique requirements. These are our client words "Other vendors ask us to pay more $$$ for enabling additional email alerts".

    We have a full suite of SolarWinds products and did not evaluate other options for a full package. For selective monitoring we log into the devices, but this has made that much easier as we have a dashboard rather than logging into devices one at a time.

    Return on Investment
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • I don't know if you can calculate ROI with a monitoring solution, there are more factors to calculate.
    • We found a really big problem with a network switch (faulty transceiver) in a trunk configuration with OPManager. this caused us serial troubles with the overall network stability.
    • We are loosing around € 3.000 to 5.000 per hour if our network is not working so this was a great help to fix this issue
    • Our label printers are really important to monitoring in our warehouse system, this makes OPManager a great solution for that

    • Real-time monitoring and alerting to surpass those of native vSphere and in some occasions, better than manufacturer written software.
    • Historical monitoring of environment with charts and graphs to assist with ever changing environment loads.
