We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"SevOne’s data collection functionality is very good. From a collection point of view, we pull SNMP data, which is simple. It is easy to manipulate the pull in the estate. It is really simple compared to some of the other products that we have used. However, for deferred data, i.e., things that we import or don't pull directly, we tend to have a preplanned integration. So, its Universal Collector is really useful."
"Another useful feature is that SevOne gives you real-time insights into your network performance. It polls every five minutes. That is important for our customers because there are some network teams that are always monitoring their networks."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"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 offers very good integration capabilities."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"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 product provides intensive reports."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"I would like to see live maps as an added feature. Also, build modules on AI and EML to provide better data insights that would proactively tell us what we should be looking after."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"In terms of having a complete view of our network performance, I would rate it a nine out of 10. The reason for not giving it a 10 is that there is no packet capture associated with SevOne, but we do have other tools in place to do that."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"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."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
