Has a single dashboard, but is expensive
We use this solution to manage our mission environment The single dashboard is a valuable feature.  The technical support needs improvement. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is expensive. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.  Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of…

A stable, scalable and cost-effective solution that helps with inbuilt scripts for easy modification
Our company used the tool to monitor the solutions and infrastructure in our environment which included it for our monitoring solutions, to monitor the infrastructure in all our environments such as networking, storage, and all the physical and virtual servers. We used it daily to check for both…

Reporting is good, monitors well and stable product
We manage a client's network. We put all applications/devices into ManageEngine OpManager. This allows us to manage everything from a single interface. It's not just about endpoint devices; it also improves switches and servers. For example, if we have the same switches across our organization, we…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"This solution has a self-healing handler where if the service is down, it is automatically restarted."
"It is really easy in Icinga to create your own plugin and integrate it without any fuss. And it works just perfectly fine."
"The best thing about the solution is how it highlights errors, the issues, and what needs my attention. The solution directs me to areas that I should look for first."
"I like the ability to amend and adjust things really easily, which is useful in a case where you could make it auto-discover and then set a template to say all of these applications or servers under this template have an automatic threshold set that you’d set up manually."
"The apply rules feature saves a lot of time."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything."
"There's a module called Icinga Director, which helps us configure the product using an intuitive interface through clicks instead of creating a text configuration. It's very helpful for us."
"The solution is finely stable."
"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"In my three years of experience with OpManager, we haven't encountered any issues. So, I'd rate it a nine out of ten. It's very stable."
"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Icinga is a complex solution that's hard to learn. It's a powerful product for monitoring, but new users will have a hard time figuring out what to do."
"One thing that Icinga lacks is the capability to create advanced and customized dashboards within the tool itself."
"The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users."
"It needs Trap SNMP. I saw the documentation for Zabbix, that it has its own built-in product which handles SNMP traps, and there's nothing similar in Icinga or Nagios. I think this feature is most important for me."
"The user interface should be improved."
"The installation and configuration are very complex."
"We have found some problems with Nagios, and support isn't very responsive."
"One of the areas that are frustrating is remote monitoring for more than one machine."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"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."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Even though Icinga's financial cost is low, it is an expensive product regarding the resources required to maintain and operate it."
"This is an open-source solution with paid support."
"It is cost-effective, and the return on investment can be very interesting because the price is low."
"The product is inexpensive compared to other DBM products."
"We're using the free version of Icinga."
"The solution is cheap."
"The solution is free to use."
"It's an open-source solution."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The product is not worth the money."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
