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 integration capabilities, good reliability, and is user-friendly
NOM Platform provides support to monitor and manage SDN Networks like Cisco ACI. It provides configuration changes and tracking over time to add impact on network routing and performance issues. The solution has very powerful APIs to be integrated with other systems to complete the full image to apply ITIL processes. The NOM Module is just a part of the full image portfolio of ITOM that covers network management integrating natively with other Micro Focus modules like UCMDB (Universal Configuration Management Database), which becomes a single point of truth regarding the configuration items. The OBM (Operations Bridge Management) covers the Manager of Managers role. SMAX (Service Manager and Asset Management X) covers the ITSM in the Micro Focus Portfolio.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"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."
"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."
"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."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"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."
"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."
"We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards."
 

Cons

"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"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."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"It may need a more customizable UI."
"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"Micro Focus' price is on the higher side, but there are other products like CA products and IBM that are more expensive. At the same time, you have to compare the maturity level of the solutions."
