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…

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…

Useful for network performance monitoring
My manager can explain the use cases attached to the product. I am a unit leader in my company, and I don't sell the product directly to our partners or customers. In my company, I manage certain processes and a team while building, developing, and providing them with a direction for the market. NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is a good solution for network performance monitoring since it is not cloud-based. My company sells NETSCOUT nGeniusONE in eight to ten countries. I think the solution is not good for capacity planning, but it is better to help find problems in applications because not every infrastructure is good at managing working applications. I think it is a solution meant for applications. The tool is useful for solving problems attached to applications. The tool's real-time network monitoring capability was used when the product was more reactive. In our company, if we use real-time monitoring, then we need to deal with raw traffic. In our company, if we don't see any problem in the real-time systems, we have the possibility to rely on the tool since it acts like a time machine for us, which can allow us to get back to the areas of problem and solve them. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. For many users, it can be a good monitoring system that can be scaled up in the future. I think it is a good product to start with when working systems in an environment. NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is another tool used to manage raw traffic, and I find it to integrate well into our customers' network. I am not using it actively on the system. I use the tool for network packet brokers. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

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 is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"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."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"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."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."
"Network faults are easily and quickly identified through dashboards and drill down."
"The quick drill-down views are similar to Wireshark views. Those are quite nice, with the views on how you interpret some of the data. The granularity of how far you can drill down into milliseconds or microseconds is a very nice feature. It actually stores quite a lot of data in its database."
"The most valuable feature is visibility."
"From the standpoint of VoLTE and related things, it's providing visibility into the network and how it operates."
"It helps us get to the root cause quickly. It helps us find massive error codes, then we drill down on that error code, knowing that is the source of our problem."
"This solution provides us with increased visibility while conducting IT deployments. E.g., if we have devices which have overloaded or links which have saturated, then this tool tells us exactly what is going on with that link or device. Very few tools do it at this level for things like DDoS."
"The ability to be able to do detailed traffic analysis such as top-talkers, application-specific monitoring, and understanding them through patterns, is helpful. We're also able to gain an understanding of voice calls, voice traffic, whether we have packet loss in a certain part of the network or jitter or high latency that might be impacting the network. All of those are nice functionalities."
"The stability of this product is ok."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."
"Another thing that would help out is if they packaged the NetFlow monitor into nGeniusONE. Their NetFlow monitor works with nGeniusONE where you can actually get the netflow of pretty much anything you hook it up to. But it's a separate box that you have to buy. If there was a way that could package that into nGeniusONE, it would be a complete package straight out of the box."
"For individual subscriber tracings, sometimes it does not capture all the messages. There is a little bit of room for improvement there."
"There are so many pieces of their product that integrate with one another that perhaps a recommendation for improvement would be some sort of bigger overview and map to help understand how all their pieces integrate together."
"NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is a complex product since it deals in areas like network packet brokers and packet analysis, making the tool complicated for end users."
"The current solution is not easy to scale, because it is an appliance-based solution. So, you have to swap everything out."
"It could have an easier to understand interface."
"There is currently less visibility or GUI to analyse the packet for troubleshooting purposes."
"nGeniusONE could be improved by reducing the number of bare metal servers required to run it. Currently, you need a separate bare metal server for each of the following: Xfinity, ISNG, nGeniusONE, and CFS. It would be more cost-effective and less complex if all of these functionalities could be combined into a single bare metal server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The product is not worth the money."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"The product is too expensive compared to other products."
"Cost is probably the biggest drawback. Compared to some of the newer vendors that have popped up in the space, it's definitely more on the expensive side... [But] it's been able to keep its value, even in the face of the cheaper competition."
"The biggest problem we have with this product is the expense."
"The license becomes cost prohibitive very quickly."
"The scalability becomes very expensive quickly."
"It can be expensive, but if you have a good configuration, based on what you are looking for, it's okay, it's manageable."
"It is very expensive, but it's well worth the money."
"Like any company, we always want better pricing. The pricing is okay, but it's not a cheap solution. When you want to deploy it across an enterprise as large as ours, you go into seven figures. It's not a cheap solution to get out there."
