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."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"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."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
