Offers automation capabilities, ability to manage the entire network, and provides real-time monitoring of network utilization

For network performance, there are so many tools in OpManager for your network. You can manage your servers and processes as well. Processes are the Windows services running in the background. They are what you see in the task manager when you check how many are being run by Windows or the machine. OpManager can manage these processes. If one isn't running, you can reboot or start it or write a script for the situation. For example, if there's a server issue at night, a rule will automatically run in the background and reboot the services. OpManager will do all of that, and the services will come back online. It can resolve those types of issues on its own. And it's automated.

Useful online resources, customizable, and highly effective monitoring

The solution is useful for tweaking. However, there have been some negative experiences, such as limited report capabilities. The only report available is in PDF format, making it difficult for teams managing multiple servers to extract data in Excel format. The speaker recommends that the team improve the report capabilities to better serve users. If there are corrupt files the data can be extracted from them. Anyone who wants to see the performance of memory usage, such as whether it's at 80 to 90 percent, can use this tool. However, other tools can provide this information in two minutes, this tool is more time-consuming and the report it provides is not very effective for practical use. When it comes to reports, the tool falls short. During a recent call, it was noted that while the company has distributed servers across the globe, only the master server can accommodate the reports and events, causing delays. If other servers experience issues, the team cannot view the reporting or tag things, such as for troubleshooting purposes. If this aspect was improved it would be an excellent tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."

"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 tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."

"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."

"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."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

"It monitors and continuously tests everything that is of importance to you and your users. It could be everything from monitoring disk space to CPU usage to memory. It could include determining if the response time in your e-commerce platform is quick enough, or whether you have too many bounces from some of the pages on your website. You want to monitor anything that could cost you money or time or resources. You can do that with this system. It's very flexible."

"The API makes it pretty easy to integrate with any system."

"We can also observe whatever we want, and there are no limitations."

"OP5 Monitor is a great choice due to its being built on an open-source monitoring tool and provides ample opportunity for customization based on specific support requirements. It is also user-friendly and easy to manage with a wide range of plugins available for use. In comparison to other enterprise tools, such as Micro Focus, OP5 Monitor stands out for its features and cost-effectiveness, making it the best tool in the market. Customization is one of the key strengths of the tool and provides a lot of capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to find support and plugins for the tool through online resources."

"With limited hardware or a virtual machine, you can address a huge network, hundreds of thousands of elements that need to be monitored. Other commercial software is not on that level."

"The best feature is that it is very relatable, stable, and scalable. The logger is a part of the software, but it's not the most important point of it."

Cons

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."

"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."

"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

"They need to improve the dashboard interface."

"IT environments today are in constant flux. This is driven by the newer cloud technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker, etc. The whole Nagios-based monitoring system that OP5 is created on top of, is based on a host-service model. There is a need for a strategy on what to do with more dynamic environments. There is some cool stuff going on in that direction."

"The user interface is not what we are used to these days, and should be improved."

"The solution is useful for tweaking. However, there have been some negative experiences, such as limited report capabilities. The only report available is in PDF format, making it difficult for teams managing multiple servers to extract data in Excel format. The speaker recommends that the team improve the report capabilities to better serve users."

"OP5 lacks some visualization, a feature that makes some other products nice. Op5 is built for purpose, which is fine, but if you compare it with some new products, the visualization is not so appealing, especially for management... If you don't need fancy visualizations, OP5 is fine."

"We do not get performance reports properly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not worth the money."

"The pricing is moderate."

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

"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."

"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."

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

More ManageEngine OpManager pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the license and support are separate. If you want platinum call support, it will cost more than a regular call. I did not opt for it, as it is an additional cost."

"It was not expensive. And because it's less demanding in terms of hardware, you don't have to pay for another SQL or other database license, and you can have a huge installation on one machine..."

"OP5 has a very low price as a solution, compared to many other solutions out there."
