We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and SolarWinds NPM 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 solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The solution is finely stable."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"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."
"SolarWinds dashboard is very fast. Also, their interface is very good, it looks very user-friendly. The product allows me to see a summary of the network being monitored at a glance."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the way it monitors the environment, and how user-friendly the console is for the end-user. The interface is also very easy and it captures all the information very well."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"I found a lot of valuable features in SolarWinds NPM, such as the customized application monitoring that allows you to customize any monitoring and script customization, and you also have the option to deploy and upgrade SolarWinds NPM online, which is very useful for my organization."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"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 get a lot of false alerts."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"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."
"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 reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
