Features: ManageEngine OpManager includes network device monitoring, robust server monitoring, and an alerting system for real-time failure detection.

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.

The tool's configuration is easy and artifacts are easily accessible through professional services and the web

The product is highly regarded, and many customers have been using it along with other VMware products like vSphere and VMware vCloud Usage Insight. However, recently, there's been a trend among customers, especially those using VMware for a considerable period, to explore the potential of migrating to the public cloud. The common concern among these customers is how the VMware products will perform in the public cloud environment. Migrating instances from VMware to different platforms is not easy, especially when dealing with many instances across multiple customers. Customers are keen to maintain the functionality of their existing VMware products but prefer to run them on the public cloud instead of on-premise servers. Our clients for vRealize Network Insight are enterprise businesses. I rate it a nine 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

"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."

"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."

"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."

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

"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

"It allows us to go from virtual through NSX, up to the core, and see all of that in one pane of glass, it's pretty easy."

"What's valuable to us is the ability to get a view into the virtual space, which is something we haven't had before. Before, it was done by collecting from network endpoints and extrapolating into the virtual environment. Now it's coming directly from the virtual environment."

"The most valuable features are the packet trace flow and that the view of the whole environment is deep."

"It especially helps with deploying NSX, that you're not having to manually chase down and figure out what you need to do to microsegment VMs. This gives a nice option where you can say, "Hey, this VM, show me what flows are there." I can export it out and then import it as an NSX rule and job done."

"It's a very powerful, very manageable product."

"We can see everything going on in NSX and get a good picture of our environment."

"It has enabled us to set up and do application discovery, as far as network traffic is concerned, and set up the appropriate rules that we need to make sure we're compliant with our security frameworks."

"The gradual way the Network Insight shows you all the relevant information about your networks. It's pretty good. You can really dig deep deep inside and see where the problem is, where it comes from, what you have inside, how did you configure it. Also, it has alerts so you can have pretty much quite a big overview about your network. This is really something good."

Cons

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."

"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."

"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."

"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."

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

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

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."

"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

"Support could be much better."

"After you use it for a little while you become accustomed to it but the layout doesn't feel very intuitive. You have to dig around and find the exact place where you can find the information, where you can actually see your east-west traffic, etc. I would like them to bring that information more to the forefront, instead of having to find it."

"It just needs to be more reliable and more accurate. At some point, there are some things where it does not match properly."

"The product is slightly complex use, while still being user-friendly. It could use more training modules, as it is not a straightforward product."

"I would like to see application identification. That would be cool."

"In a very general way, I would like to see an improvement in interoperability with third-party product, from other vendors."

"There's enough information there, especially in the visualizations, but I would love to see this in a kiosk mode, where I could have a dashboard for interested stakeholders to see and appreciate what's going on. Then, moving on to a more practical level for our Help Desk, our operations team could benefit by seeing, in real-time, a visual view of the network."

"Since Broadcom acquired VMware, it has been experiencing challenges. Many sales processes are not well defined."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonably priced."

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."

"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."

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

"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."

"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."

More ManageEngine OpManager pricing and cost advice

"Cost always has room for improvement, you could always make it cheaper. But I think it's a good value for what you pay for it."

"It's a little expensive, but for what you're getting out of the product, you often see the trade-off. It depends on the type of licensing you have. It might be a little too pricey for some."

"The solution has reduced the time that we spend on other products. For example, with NSX, we were able to quickly find things that we would normally spend days trying to figure out."

"vRealize Network Insight is expensive."

"We have spent less time investigating network flows, so it is absolutely cost-effective."
