Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"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."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"It is simple to implement and can provide fairly decent Windows-based monitoring, beyond simple SNMP. It is great for monitoring newbies and smaller shops."
"Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."
"There are many valuable features, including the network configuration manager, and the network performance manager."
"The product integrates with Remedy."
"Management Console - Managing service to each server enrolled in the Solarwinds is much easier. Using a web base console, you can control your service much convenient way. There is no need to login remotely. It save a lot of time and effort."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"AppInsight for SQL: Enables us to see the relevant error log entries on the same page as performance parameters."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"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 had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"The licensing model is confusing."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"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."
"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve by having a cloud version. They have an observability platform but it still needs to be maintained by us."
"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve the server monitoring and the web application monitoring features are not good. Microsoft SCOM has better server monitoring."
"The product needs to reduce its price."
"PerfStack can be made more effective. I am sure SolarWinds already has a plan for the same in coming versions."
"The setup was complex. We had local support to assist us."
"Downside of the tools is the web console are hung or crash. It need to improve the performance."
"In terms of the dashboards on offer, they should work to improve them. The types of dashboards that you get in terms of the graphs on offer aren't ideal right now."
"It needs time-based functions for monitoring. Some things need to be polled on a specific schedule or only during a specific window."
