We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and Meraki Dashboard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"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."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"Scalability is one of Meraki Dashboard's strongest features. We have thousands of users if we're counting the end-users on our clients' network, but we have hundreds of clients."
"Meraki Dashboard does not require a lot of maintenance. Cisco tells communicates through the Meraki Dashboard web client, it will automatically send updates to the equipment. They will send you an email on what day the updates will take place. If you want to proceed, you can click on accept, or you can decline them and schedule the updates at another time."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The ease-of-use and the analytics are really effective tools."
"The dashboard itself is very simplified and easy to navigate."
"The ability to view the entire project stack, including the camera, features, and routers, which I believe are the most important or relevant components."
"The solution scales well."
"I like that Meraki Dashboard is a user-friendly product."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"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."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"There are some issues with the NAT configuration, it is now impossible to some operations with the solution."
"Price could be reduced."
"There needs to be more improvement on the device-connected interface."
"When users are trying to roam from one location to another location, geographical tracking would be helpful."
"It would be nicer if the dashboard was lighter."
"Third-party switches do not necessarily integrate easily with the system and this could be improved to allow for better adaptation."
"For instance, you should be able to see if something has been blocked by a firewall rule by looking at a live log of traffic moving through the device. It helps you troubleshoot issues and understand if your rules are working. You need to ensure the firewall is blocking the right things. That's unavailable in the Meraki Dashboard. You have to send the logs to a log server. We use SolarWinds locally, but it's not natively built into Meraki. We're also using Cisco ISA and another tool called Smoothwall."
"The MDM, however, is bad. We're using another MDM now because Meraki was so bad."
