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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"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 uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The initial setup process is quite simple."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"Meraki dashboard deserves an Oscar."
"It is a reliable product. It provides a lot of information that is easy to read."
"It has improved my organization in the way that we've got a much better wireless coverage than we had before, and secondly, we have the visibility of all the users."
"We've been spending a lot less time on tickets and deployments, so we have more time to do other things."
"It's a scalable solution."
"Easy to configure with great troubleshooting feature."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations."
"I am concerned about the fact that once your licensing expires the devices stop working and become a brick."
"It would be nicer if the dashboard was lighter."
"It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are."
"The wait time to speak with a Meraki support engineer is always long, but they get the job done."
"Third-party switches do not necessarily integrate easily with the system and this could be improved to allow for better adaptation."
"Not a lot of training is available."
"When users are trying to roam from one location to another location, geographical tracking would be helpful."
