We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and SCOM 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.
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"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."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The solution is finely stable."
"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."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."
"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."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
