We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and ManageEngine OpManager 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."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"The solution is scalable."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."
"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."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"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."
"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 main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
