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.

Great integrations, power flow, and good support
They need a little more self-service. Some of the places where there's still a dependency on defense logic. If those could be eliminated, that would be ideal. They've done a fantastic job eliminating a lot of those dependencies and there's a lot of self-service. However, some of the areas where we could have it connect to, for example, Splunk or ServiceNow, in a self-care version versus having to go back to their engineers, that's an area where they could do a little more. There are still a lot of engineers who get involved versus if it's a little more API-driven and self-served dashboard connections. Doing it the other way would just make life easier for users.

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 of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"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."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"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 flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
 

Cons

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."
"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"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."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"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."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"I'm not the best person to discuss pricing, but what I do know is that it's a use-and-go structure. You use this much storage and pay this much for it. That's how it is. Every time, we continue to add a large amount of data to the environment."
