Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The solution is finely stable.""The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable.""We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable.""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 alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them.""The product provides intensive reports.""Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution.""The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

More ManageEngine OpManager Pros →

"It can help to write your rules, organize firewalls, your block, and also your protocols and IP address to come in or out of your network.""I also have the ability to see an application's performance, to see what's going on, why a network is slow, why this program for this user is experiencing a delay or some network issue""The ability to capture packets. It is not only for monitoring. That is very important for a company that wants to keep an eye on the packets, the transactions, the flows...""It's able to capture packets and, after a long time, you can come and use that information; to check, to analyze - everything you would want to do. So it's very good and helpful if you want to protect your data. It is stored in a certain place where you can access it every time you want to analyze it.""This solution allows us to see exactly what is going on in the network and we can very quickly solve issues with users."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"We get a lot of false alerts.""The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved.""We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely.""The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance.""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.""I would like to see more enhancements made to the product.""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.""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."

More ManageEngine OpManager Cons →

"I would like to have more than 4TB of storage available in the portable version of this solution.""Graphics need improvement. Because a lot of the information there you have to input first in some case to have full potential. It could be more automated.""Maybe the graphical user interface could be simplified to allow people to use it more easily. It's already good, but they can work more on it to make it even easier."
