ManageEngine OpManager Initial Setup

Ved Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Monitoring Lead at Stryker

The initial setup is not difficult. I rate it an eight out of ten. Deployment takes less than one hour to divide properly with all the configurations and parameters. We had eight people involved in deployment, two from our organization and six from Dynatrace. However, our company is very large, and it has thousands of servers, so it has taken about seven months to deploy.

In terms of deployment, it's a fairly straightforward initial discovery process.

We had so many modules, including the firewall monitor, et cetera. It was deployed over several months. It took about three months.

It is not difficult to maintain the solution.

Associated Director - Information Security at Netlink Software Group America Inc

The setup was easy. When it comes to setup with Sophos, the setup is easy. Quite straightforward. But when it comes to actually managing or monitoring the solution, the policies, so the worst part of the product is Sophos abruptly or suddenly changes its policies. It does a lot of things in the background, and the administrator is not at all aware of it. So, it becomes very difficult for the administrator to troubleshoot the exact issue that probably got caused because of Sophos. So, the management of Sophos is difficult.

The deployment took a couple of days.

Software Engineer at Romsym Data

The setup is straightforward. The only thing that takes time is registering every device that is in the network. For every switch, you need to provide its credentials. For every router, the same. So every device needs to be enrolled in the platform. That takes some manual labor, especially if there are different accounts for each device. You have to enroll them, create the keys, create the credentials, then enroll them.

Installing the solution takes two to three hours. Configuring the solution and implementing every device in a network can take from days to maybe months. It depends on the number of devices and the complexity of the architecture where it is installed.

We've had to redeploy it a couple of times. I was involved in the redeployments due to how bad it was.

It's a bit complex to set up. There are too many customizations that are difficult to get around. 

I'd rate the ease of implementation two out of ten.

The initial setup is not too complicated.

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 initial setup of OpManager is very easy and straightforward. Unlike some competitors, especially on the Linux side, the wizard will guide you through your install and you'll be up and running in minutes. OpManager has a self-contained web server and SQL server that make life easy.

In the initial setup, it is very easy to deploy. It supports SMB (Server Message Block) and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) protocol. So with SMB and WMI, it can support multiple platforms like Linux and Windows and Cisco devices.

During the initial setup, there are interviews by the Site Engineer. Once the setup is complete, our engineer will take care of the configuration and support. If there are any issues then we have to engage with the Site Engineer.

It took approximately two days to deploy the solution. If there is an issue, investigations may cause it to take longer to investigate and solve the issue. Usually, the issue will be related to a network issue or a policy that needs to be opened.
