Featured Reviews

Dominique Yeates - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable network monitoring tool requiring an easy initial setup phase
In terms of the integration and everything, our company would like Kaseya Traverse to integrate with our PSA system and merge or automate what we call false positives, making it more of a threshold than needing to raise an actual ticket to deal with real problems, which can cut off a lot of noise the system goes through. Our company is busy with the solution's integration part, and we wanted an update on the solution that can help us. The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently. I don't have a technical wish list like technical managers since the product manager looks after the product. From a wish list perspective, our company just wants seamless integration to cut out the noise by merging false positives since the system has the capability.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."
"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."
"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud."
"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."
"The remote support and data collection features are great."
"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."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."
"The solution is finely stable."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
 

Cons

"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."
"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."
"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."
"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."
"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"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."
"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."
"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 data provided by the tool is not accurate."
"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"The product is not worth the money."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is highly affordable"
