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.

Good monitoring and troubleshoot capabilities, improves overall network traffic visibility
In my organization, we had 130,000 network devices that needed to be brought into the solution and mapped. NetBrain can handle the scale but the engineers that manage those devices have to go in and update all of them to allow NetBrain permission to poll them. It can get a little stressful for everybody when you're trying to roll out new stuff when you've got other issues that have to be addressed with other devices. In some cases, our devices had no automation at all. One example is the Cisco 3650. Right now, if you went through the inventory list, you see that we have different versions running. Some are on one version, whereas others are on another version. The problem with upgrading them is that they need to be done overnight because we don't want to disrupt any network traffic during business hours. Consequently, it could take us years to upgrade the versions before we can even get them onto these new tools. This may be an internal issue but it's a big one when you have a lot of devices. Even if you had 10,000 devices, it's still an issue. You have to consider the compatibility of the device against the tool, and being able to use certain commands to upgrade it.

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."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
"The setup was easy."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"Enables maps to be drawn out."
"This product has good network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities."
"NetBrain is a very simple tool."
"A reliable, time-saving tool for providing accurate layer 2 and layer 3 network mappings."
"Chain management is a good feature. I don't get it on other solutions."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"It would be nice if the setup was a little simpler. Also, if the solution could provide more training materials for new people coming into our company so they can quickly learn how to use the functionalities."
"The IP interface brief isn't consistent."
"Each device needs to be configured to allow NetBrain to poll for the information it needs, which can be very time-consuming for a large network."
"Support needs to improve for the installed product and some of the reporting could be more flexible to provide more complete cataloging."
"The solution could integrate more automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The product is not worth the money."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"The product is expensive, but less expensive than some of the competition and worth the price."
"Licensing is based on a per-device basis, which means that it can get very expensive if you have a large number of devices."
