ManageEngine OpUtils Erfahrungen

Vorteile

We have been loyal ManageEngine users and this product is one of their most powerful. Automate switch level tasks, run reports and track change management.

Nachteile

It’s a bit tricky to perform software updates.

Vorteile

The ease of setup, and the at-a-glance overview of network IP utilisation. The web-based GUI is easy to use as well.

Nachteile

It would be handy if we could assign colours/icons to the folders we create - would help in identifying which networks belong to which sites/systems at a glance.

Vorteile

The network monitor module. Allows you to view the connectivity status of all monitored devices.

Nachteile

It can be quite complex to configure some of the modified modules.

Vorteile

It was easy to install and configure. Not a bad interface

Nachteile

Couple things.Get rid of the adds at the top bar. I bought a product, I don't want repeated notifications to buy others. Turns me off completely to looking at all the other offerings.The scan is too slow and does not update often enough to reflect changes in DNS.When scrolling down a range to find an IP, the view resets and puts me back at the top of the adress space no matter what I do it will not refresh every minute.Login window is confusing.SSO setup is misleading and documentation is inaccurate.

Vorteile

Ease of Use and installation. Support always resolves any issues in a timely manner, that's why we have multiple ManageEngine products.

Nachteile

I honestly have nothing bad to say about the product. If you keep it updated, then you shouldn't run into any issues.

Vorteile

Ease to use is one of the best features. Additionally the layout is fairly easy to understand.

Nachteile

I have some trouble with the automatic scans not working and often have to manual update the available IP list.

Vorteile

OpUtils helping me tracking IP-MAC addresses easily and monitor my 200 switches easily too, saves me a lot of time and effort

Nachteile

Can add firewalls such Palo Alto as a router and get ARP table to feed the database.

Vorteile

It has two specific feature; IPAM (IP Address Management) and SPM (Switch Port Mapping). The IPAM is very useful when managing many subnets on the environment. The SPM is also useful to decrease the security concerns as increasing the visibility of the environment. It can identify the rogue devices as well.

Nachteile

The product can do IP Address Management but it cannot show the old time data for the IPs occupied by which devices. If this is implemented to the product, it can help solving and understanding the issues happened in the past as analyzing IP address leasing for specific date/time. Additionally, the visibility of device types on the environment can be improved as fetching data via WMI, SSH, SNMP, etc.

Vorteile

powerful and comprehensive IP address management and switch port management tool

Nachteile

obust and feature-rich tool, there are some aspects that users may find less favorable

Vorteile

It's easy to setup and switch ports related device can be tracked and managed with it's best in class designs, which improves network operations and performance.

Nachteile

the user interface is cluttered or outdated, which can make navigation and finding features less straightforward.

Vorteile

Easy to deploy and use on a day to day basis. Easy to manage and report on IP usage. Great support team

Nachteile

Documentation is not always up to date. Been having some difficulty with notifications and customizing them.

Vorteile

Probably the thing I like most about OpUtils is that though the Utilities and features it has can be done through other means, the fact that they are baked into the Opmanager console makes it super convenient to use without searching all over for the functionality.

Nachteile

This is probably just a gripe about the overall Opmanager tool. The SAML authentication implementation needs some work. Which is strange to me because other Manageengine tools have SAML working perfectly.

Vorteile

Setup is a breeze. I use it mostly for IP mapping and alerting of any rogue IP activity, as well as switch port mapping and alerting on bandwidth overages etc.

Nachteile

I am having an issue with the report exporting functions not working, I try to export a report in any fashion, xls, pdf etc. and they download but are blank. I have emailed support with a screenshot but I haven't tried to contact support within the product which I will try next. Overall nothing that bad to say about it, it's useful, lightweight, powerful for what features it does have, is customizable, and very reasonably priced. Also, our some of our IP scopes expanded from /24 to /23, and initially I couldn't add the new scopes without upgrading the license, but they pro-rated the license so it was very affordable to upgrade and expand our range of monitoring.

Vorteile

I like the network tools and interface monitoring feature of the software and it compares configuration changes and it saves running as we as start-up configuration changes that is next level and the configuration backup schedule is way to much.

Nachteile

Configuration backup for Nexus and HPE Aruba is not fully functional.

Cheaper and very easy to setup and use. SolarWinds products are very expensive and they are really complicated as well as resources consuming products even they're good products. However OpUtils is very easy to use and setup using few clicks.

Vorteile

The flexibility of the software is its strong suit. You're given the option of using built in tools, such as SNMP monitors or create your own.

The notifications. Even if you dismiss them they always come back.

Por sus funcionalidades que era lo que se necesita en COFIDE

Vorteile

Very easy to setup. Not intrusive like some vendor's software, visually very quick and easy to find needed information.

Nachteile

Being vendor independent, it has to use the most basic collect features, so some of the advanced features on high end switches aren't used effectively.

The main feature I wanted to use this for was to manage my switches under one interface, as far as the ports and the IP Addresses. For the most part, that works great and I really enjoy the product.

Nachteile

When something is wrong with a switch scan and it just fails to scan with the SNMP credentials that had been working, there is no easy way to find out why it fails.
