Puntos a favor:

With the current Covid-19 situation, I have been able to make maximum use of the features available in order to monitor our network and ensure business continuity. The reports generated by Firewall features within OPManager Plus are really useful. ManageEngine Support have been very swift in customising reports specific to our needs.

Contras:

With all software, you must spend time initially tweaking to ensure the software works correctly. I found it difficult at times to understand the requirements to get the software to work.

Razones para elegir ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager: I am not familiar with SolarWind, unfortunately I was faced with a brick wall when it came to support. Also cost was factor and I found all the features I need would cost more with SolarWind.

Razones para cambiar a ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager: ManageEngine's ethic in providing support for their customers is superb. I had an engineer onsite to ensure all my requirements are met. Once I became familiar with the product I was able to request customised reports which I ManageEngine Op Manager Plus team were able to provide.

We like NCM

Comentarios: We used NCM as a replacement for Cisco Prime Infrastructure. We have no regrets in moving away from Prime and into NCM, it's been a great tool for us in managing all of our switches and routers.

Puntos a favor:

The user interface is very easy to navigate, it was very easy to get all of our devices into NCM and get them backed up. Writing configlets for common tasks (like an ios upgrade) was very easy.

Contras:

The Compliance module is not the easiest to work with. Some of the features don't work as expected, it was somewhat difficult to get it to run a configlet automatically when it encountered a policy violation. That part never worked very well.

Razones para elegir ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager: Cisco is sunsetting the product, the replacement requires a DNA license to be installed on every device. Those licenses are not available for legacy devices, of which we still have a lot of

Razones para cambiar a ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager: We received a demo of NCM, it was easy to install and configure and start using. The user interface is really nice, access to support from within the product is very easy to access

ManageEngine NCM - Your one-stop Networking configuration tool

Comentarios: When it comes to PCIDSS compliance, our organization was suffering with configuration backup and auditing. But after proper set of ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager, we were able to comply with all PCIDSS requirements with much ease.

Puntos a favor:

The most loved feature is ManageEngine NCM is multi vendor supported. We do have Cisco, Juniper and HP switches and still we can use Manage Engine NCM to manage all the switches. And it is same with firewalls too. So it is just one solution for all the networking devices of the organization.

Contras:

If the initial setup and configuration can be simplified it will be much better. setup and configuration was not easy as expected. However throughout the initial setup, vendor support was remarkable.

ITCONVERGENCE Review

Comentarios: Overall it is good experience and we need some finetune on scripts.

Puntos a favor:

The interface is very easy to understand.

Contras:

It was throwing errors while adding the devices it might be the credentials issue or template issue. We need to dig into logs for easy to troubleshoot the issue.

Great platform for smaller buisness

Puntos a favor:

Quite extensive with features. the configlets are easy to use and quite practical. The list of recommended version for each device is one of the main reason we got this product.

Contras:

There are small things here and there that could be annoying when you are migrating; menus refreshing after almost each operations, when doing some actions you are sent to an other place in the page and can't go back without navigating the menu again. nothing critical but can take some time when doing big jobs.

ManageEngine User-Friendly

Comentarios: I have around one year of experience with ManageEngine, both in customer environments and with a lab setup on my personal laptop. I find that ManageEngine has a user-friendly interface, making it easy to onboard devices and change configurations. It is also a very effective network monitoring tool for large-scale networks.

Puntos a favor:

I mostly liked the interface, it was very user-friendly and allowed me to check all the configuration settings and device statuses. It supports network devices from all vendors, making it easy to configure and manage, with straightforward access and setup

Contras:

Users, including myself, feel that the customization options are limited and not as flexible as they would like

Excellent product with a lot of potential

Comentarios: Excellent, we plan on continuing to add customers and licenses as we operationalize this in our company.

NCM has allowed us to identify and remediate firmware vulnerabilities for our customer base. The reporting allows us to provide our customers with reports that assist them in planning and device replacement.

NCM review

Puntos a favor:

The software is easy to install and offers a user-friendly interface that is simple to navigate. The tool's automation features allow IT teams to save time and reduce errors, as the system can automatically back up configurations, detect changes, and perform configuration changes across multiple devices simultaneously. The tool also offers comprehensive reporting capabilities, enabling IT teams to analyze network activity and identify potential issues quickly.One of the standout features of Network Configuration Manager is its ability to support a wide range of network devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers. The tool can integrate with many of the industry's leading vendors, including Cisco, Juniper Networks, HP, and Dell, and supports several popular protocols such as SSH, Telnet, and SNMP.

Contras:

I don't have personal preferences or experiences. However, some users have reported that the software's user interface can be overwhelming at times, and it may take some time to get used to all of its features. Additionally, the tool's pricing structure can be a bit complex, and some users may find it challenging to understand the various licensing options available.

Excellent Tool for Network Management and Monitoring

Comentarios: It has given us a chance to monitor our inter-office MPLS traffic.

Puntos a favor:

It is very detailed, and flexible supporting almost every single networking product. It keeps track of firmware versions of all appliances on your network.

ManageEngine Review

Comentarios: It has worked great for our needs and filling a stop-gap of retired software.

Puntos a favor:

Ease of use and ability to easily add/remove devices

Contras:

I didn't like anything less than the most liked thing.

Opmanager NCM

Comentarios: Backups of configs of our switches. You get a nice overview in graphs/reports which switches have been backed up successfully.

Puntos a favor:

I like the nice interface and the responsive support that remotely helps in case of problems. It is easy to shedule backups of configs of your switches and to verify what changes have been done to these configs or compare configs. Scripting for deploying vlan's across several switches for example is also an easy task.

Contras:

Although the interface is nice ;if you sometimes look for something it is sometimes difficult to find what you are looking for because there are so many things where you can click onto.... It is a pity that Vlan overviews and some other useful info are a separate product (included in portmapper);I think it should be included by default into NCM.

Great product

Comentarios: I love manage engine products. In addition, I love how you can combine multiple products.

Puntos a favor:

I like the customer support and ease of deployment. You can't find a better product in this price range.

Contras:

I really cannot think of anything. This is a great product.

NCM for Network Management

Comentarios: Automatic config backup and alerting on config changes are really helpful. EOL EOS updates is another benefit we are getting from NCM.

Puntos a favor:

Configuration backup feature is mostly used and it helps our Network administrators to backup configurations with ease.

Contras:

Current Dasboard is ok however there is a room for improvement.

Best NCM application for cooperate business

Comentarios: We have install NCM Plugin application with OpManager system. Saving my lot of time. we have setup all the alert systems with NCM if any changes we are receiving alert. NCM functioning level is very smooth.

Puntos a favor:

Scan vulnerabilities is the main advantage. Device configuration backups, we can automate with restore . If any unauthorized access to devices generating instant alert for device admins. We can keep device configuration track for compliance activities. Saving lot of manual working time with ManageEngine NCM application.

Contras:

Lot of patches are releasing, upgrade activity will have to regularly. I don't have any least point to mention about application.

Good software

Puntos a favor:

As a user of ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager, I found its intuitive interface, powerful network management tools, and effective configuration management capabilities to be the standout features.

Contras:

As a user of ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager, I found the reporting functionality to be lacking in terms of customization options and graphical representations of data.

NCM Review

Comentarios: The NCM allows me to have an efficient backup of the configuration of the devices and to control the compliance of policies. So also for the implementation of new functionalities, it was easy to update to the new versions.

Puntos a favor:

NCM allows me to have control of equipment configurations, changes and compliance.

Contras:

That does not allow me to directly import the backups of the devices.

NCM for MSPs

Comentarios: It's been good experience with NCM so far. Looking forward to explore the tool functionalities and leverage the tool for making changes to network devices and seek support for applying network polices for all the vendor devices

Puntos a favor:

Using NCM we can track changes to the network device against baseline configuration ( for accountability). schedule periodic backups of the Network configuration

Contras:

Reactive alerting reduced functionality support for applying network changes on different products from NCM No vendor -audit Tech specs or support for enforcing network security policies/standards or best practices No ITIL support ( asset-CMDB integration) for Change management to make any network changes comply with change process (change workflows /approvals)

Linux version and integration is more difficult to upgrade and install.

Contras:

Linux version and integration is more difficult to upgrade and install.

Network Configuration Manager is a fantastic addon to Opamanger

Comentarios: Overall, the manageengine tools are fantastic and provide a lot of features for a very reasonable cost. The integration of these ad-hoc tools within some of their larger tools like Opmanger just makes them even better.

Puntos a favor:

Honestly, it nearly set itself up. We obviously had to create some policy customization, but out of the box it was immediately useful by identifying issues with firmware updates, capturing config backups and all sorts of other taks.

Contras:

We had an issue with the config backup on a single switch that even manageengine couldn't immediately help with. It took a few tries to find a tech who could assist. Other than that, it works really well.

Great Customer Support

Comentarios: We mainly use NCM to ensure that we have usable backup in case of critical failure

Puntos a favor:

Product is easy to use but when issues do occur the support is great

Contras:

I sometimes feel that the different elements of the opmanager suite don't hang together as seamlessly as they could, the information is always there it just finding it.
