Pros
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature.""We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them.""We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable.""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.""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 most valuable feature is the network-related reporting.""The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features.""The product provides intensive reports."

More ManageEngine OpManager Pros →

"The threshold alerting is the most valuable feature.""The interface in the last few years it has been a lot greater, they are much more user-friendly. I like the interface.""It is stable.""WhatsUp Gold is very easy to deploy.""Auto scanning is most valuable. It looks for rogue devices on your network.""The most valuable features are network bandwidth monitoring and monitoring device health.""The most valuable feature of WhatsUp Gold is NetFlow and the virtualized maps.""The user interface is good enough."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement.""The technical support needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now.""ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence.""The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs.""They should add more features to URL monitoring.""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.""This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance.""You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper.""We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."

More ManageEngine OpManager Cons →

"I would like to see them do an enhancement to the application monitoring. A lot of other products do better application monitoring so they should do some improvements to the application monitoring.""Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity.""I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy.""The point system is not clear and clarity around this would improve our understanding of the system.""The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product.""Importing the maps and being able to customize them could be easier.""I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated.""We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology."
