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 single dashboard is a valuable feature."

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

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

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

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

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."

"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

"It gives the visibility that was either broken or there in pieces only. This solution provides a unified view of the whole system, back and forth. It has helped to reduce time to value, increase performance, more easily manage networks, and provide deep visibility."

"It's very user-friendly in the sense that the querying is just regular language like you and I speak or write. You don't need to know any SQL-query type of language to be able to get what you want out of it."

"As a troubleshooting tool, it's a level-3 troubleshooting-skills tool and it's very easy to use and very easy to find the information that you need."

"One of the most valuable features is the ability to look at the traffic flows, to look at NetFlow data."

"The initial was straightforward. You can have it up and running in one hour."

"The tool's ease of configuration and use and the availability of information and artifacts through professional services and the web are key factors that customers find valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the profiling of the applications for micro-segmentation... It has made the migration to NSX much easier. Most of the sys admins within the smaller silos, they have no idea what ports are needed to run their stuff at all. I am pretty sure the micro-segmentation would never, ever have occurred without it."

"The solution helps reduce time to value, increase performance, provide deep visibility, and easily manage networks."

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"The technical support needs improvement."

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

"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"

"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."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."

"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."

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

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

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

"I'd like to see better support for being able to search the hardware NetFlow data. It ingests fairly well, but you can't tell, in a lot of cases, what source the data came from. I'd like to see more support for picking specific sources. That way you could really make a compelling use case. There are also some difficulties where it can't exactly trace the path between source and destination but if you hit the reverse flow on the same search it shows the entire path."

"The only issue we have is that the solution does not always capture the host names."

"It needs to be a little easier to use and to understand the information it's putting out. That would make it more helpful. If you're not a network person you need to understand things like network policies and concepts. If you gave it to a regular admin, it would be nice if it were easier for them to pick up what is going on, understand the flows and whether or not stuff should be talking to each other, as opposed to just port groups and IP addresses."

"While it's not exactly a feature, what normally happens when we are trying to look at the VM flow portion is - although Network Insight does have options to integrate a few physical switches into it - we can't really get an end-to-end flow of the network. We might be using a few switches that are not supported by Network Insight. That is where they can improve, in the support for more physical switches and network devices."

"The UI, even though once you get to know it, it's easier, still it's hard to figure out by yourself. You have to go read, watch videos. It has a lot of data on it. So that is an issue."

"vRNI needs more remediation where it hooks into NSX."

"I want to see more in terms of microsegmentation. As of now, I can see the rules, but they are not in a readable format that I can convert to microsegmentation and can fit into NSX Manager."

More vRealize Network Insight cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

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

"It is reasonably priced."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"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."

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

"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."

More ManageEngine OpManager pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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 helped us to reduce time, increase performance, reduce costs, and even easily manage networks. We are probably seeing 10 to 20 percent labor savings because we are able to be very specific and focused on what we want to do. It ends up saving the customer money and makes us be more efficient on our cost deliveries."

"I rate vRealize Network Insight's pricing a seven point five out of ten."

"It's an expensive product because we have a lot of nodes."
