We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and Nagios Core 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 setup was easy."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
