We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer 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."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"The setup was easy."
"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."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"They have instructional videos and other information available on the site to assist you with learning it."
"The most valuable feature is the alarm that is set up to trigger based on bandwidth utilization."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"The licensing model is confusing."
"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."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"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."
"It does not flow. It cannot do our metric performance monitoring. So it is very limited. They can do it but in a very limited fashion. It is only good for SNMP-based alerts."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."
"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."
