Reporting is good, monitors well and stable product
The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit. Jira seems to be making a comeback on the Service Desk side, as well as Zendesk and Freshservice. I know that ServiceNow integration is very easy, like a three- or four-step process. But with the others, you need developers to do API-based integration, which takes longer and requires a different skill set. Even a monkey can follow a four-step process, but API integration can be more complicated here.

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
"I do not know the detailed pricing."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"The licensing price could be better."
"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."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."
"The price of the solution could be better."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"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."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"The pricing is moderate."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
