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
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.

Personalized metrics; simplicity of data
My primary use case for Pandora is monitoring This solution has helped us improve our organization by allowing us to create a lot of metrics on several platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. We then use these Pandora metrics to create an interface. We then pass the interface off to the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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 traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"The solution is scalable."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"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 most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"This product has allowed us to identify and correct certain issues that were affecting our solution."
"Thanks to its flexibility, I have been able to adapt the tool to our servers and find out quickly how their console works."
"It provides us with proactive monitoring and is very easy to configure and maintain."
"This solution has screens that are easy to understand and provide a wealth of information."
"It is easy to create your own custom modules if you just know a little bit of scripting. If you have unique requirements, you can just make your own modules. You can even grab checks from other vendors. There are open-source checks for various things such as SMTP, etc. There is a long list of different ones from Nagios. You can just use them, and within seconds, you get yourself a check that is monitoring whatever you need. It is really flexible. I guess that's why they call it Pandora Flexible Monitoring System (FMS). It is reliable. It does the job, and it alerts. It is also surprisingly feature-rich. Our network guy just recently asked about a particular protocol to monitor the bandwidth on the network, which is not a common protocol. When I looked it up, and I found that they cover it. It is very mature for a not-so-known product."
"I like this solution a lot because it has a very large Hispanic community and the platform looks very friendly."
"The official forum is active enough to answer most of the high-end technical questions that you may have."
"You can configure several types of architecture for high availability or load balancing."
 

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."
"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."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"I find that this software is resource heavy, and demands a lot of processing capacity."
"Third-party integration should be improved for some commonly used products."
"I sincerely believe that Pandora needs new ideas for functionality closer to advanced device security monitoring."
"I would like to have a dashboard with all assets displayed, with a quick hover-over status."
"We would like the real-time monitoring of an interface to be improved within this solution."
"I think some improvements to the Android app would be good."
"I would like for the solution to be faster and have a better tolerance between parallel servers for Pandora and Pest Control."
"This solution requires proper training to get 100% out of it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"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."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"The open-source version offers 100% functionality and the hardware requirements for a solution like this one are very modest."
"Only one payment and it includes support, updates, new versions, and access to the complete library of plugins except for SAP and z/OS."
"In terms of money, the Enterprise version is the cheapest that I have found after a market study."
"Growing the solution or migrating to the Enterprise version is easy, and various plans are available."
"My rule of thumb would be that if you need more than thirty agents, and you lack an automation tool such as Chef or Puppet, you will save a lot of time and money going to the Enterprise edition."
"They are very competitive on the pricing side. That's one reason why my manager keeps using it."
"The Open Source Community Edition is great to just explore the software, or use it on medium-sized infrastructures."
"You get the license and it includes updates, new versions, and access to the complete library of modules."
