Some say that if you’re not an upcoming start-up, then you’re a legacy solution provider. It’s great to see that even though OpManager has been around since 2004, they are taking major steps to innovate and adapt to the demands of current times.
The major driver for this change is customer feedback and ManageEngine’s research and development roadmap is significantly customer focused.
What’s changed?
1. New Standard Edition
2. Professional Edition (changed from Essential)
3. Enterprise Edition
What’s OpManager and why should I care?
Businesses heavily rely on networks for all operations and it can be very crucial on a daily basis. Networks can also span globally, with multiple links that are established between data centres, public and private clouds that can be geographically separate from each other. OpManager is a great all in one, easy to use network monitoring solution. It can continuously monitor the network and provides in-depth visibility on network devices. These devices can consist of routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, wireless LAN controllers, servers, VMs, printers, storage devices and everything that has an IP that can connect to the network.
OpManager has become the customer’s choice of IT infrastructure monitoring tools (ITIM) available. It has been recognised as Gartner Peer Insights Customer’s Choice for April 2019, as one of the best IT infrastructure monitoring tools.
Why is OpManager’s device based license, better than element-based or sensor-based licensing?
With device-based licensing, pricing depends on a device as a whole. This includes all components of the device such as interfaces, ports, disks. Performance metrics are included by default. This is beneficial to users since they don’t have to purchase separate licenses to monitor interfaces, disk volume and other device components.
Example: To monitor 50 network devices.
Each network device has 10 interfaces and every device and interface has 5 performance metrics to be monitored.
In OpManager, you just require a license for the number of devices you want to monitor. Everything else is included within that license.
