It is easy to understand the metrics using the solution compared to SolarWinds.

We had evaluated other products, and we decided to go for OpManager because of its ease of use and cost.

I did a small POC on SolarWinds, and unfortunately, the supply chain code got hacked and that impacted other SolarWinds products a lot. SolarWinds took a beating, and if that hack didn't happen and there wasn't much impact on other product lines, SolarWinds would be the clear winner over ManageEngine OpManager. Price-wise and support-wise, both solutions are good, but because of the hack, there is a security concern with SolarWinds, and this was a major reason to push back on SolarWinds, otherwise, my company would have gone with that solution.

I also compared ScienceLogic with ManageEngine OpManager, and though ScienceLogic has its engine, the engine fails whenever I try to build custom reports that my customers need. In ManageEngine OpManager, on the other hand, the process is simple. You just export it to a CSV format and you can do whatever you want with your other tools, so it's very easy, but in ScienceLogic, doing it would take a lot of time because of the connectors.

ManageEngine OpManager works better than other solutions because you don't need to be a guru to do simple tasks on it.

We did not evaluate other options before moving to this product. 

We were looking at the other competitors in the market. Trend Micro is a very strong contender when it comes to endpoint security. So that's the reason our organization decided to proceed with Trend Micro, or we will be proceeding with Trend Micro from next year.

I'm currently looking at other options that might be available as I do not like this particular product.

I did evaluate Nagios and Cacti (the combination), but being the only Linux guru at the time, no one was really on board with the maintenance and support for the Open Source solutions.

We looked at Micro Focus and Infoblox as possible options but we had some budgetary issues that prevented us from switching. We would ideally like to shift to a different solution because of OpManager issues surrounding accurate data related to device monitoring.

I evaluated SolarWinds using the trial version, and I found this solution to be easier to deploy and easier to manage. It also requires less processing than SolarWinds.

Due to the price of the solution, we're looking into what else might be available.

We're considering nGeniusONE for a customer.

Yes, before choosing a product I evaluate it against all requirements.

Before choosing the solution, I did look at other solutions. Some had complicated setups or licensing models. This solution is very easy because the pricing was not that high and the set up wasn't complicated. It was very good for our environment.

Solarwinds

Netwrix

Yes, Spiceworks. Nice product, but lacked robust features for enterprise.

Yes, we looked at SolarWinds, Splunk, and Spiceworks.

The other two vendors on our short list were Nagios, which is a great tool, and SolarWinds. The way that SolarWinds does licensing is very confusing and we didn't like it.
