We did briefly look into DynaTrace, but it was too much product for what we needed though and was much more expensive then just adding the licensing to our Cisco existing licenses.
Juniper RPM offers device config level sla testing in the service stream layer. Whilst this is good and is monitorable via snmp, the config can be fiddly and needs a Juniper device at the other end as a reply point
Cisco ThousandEyes has a great "macro" view and gui allowing easy to understand metrics. It also makes it easy to run synthetic application tests to measure reachability between two endpoints.
Kentik Synthetics is a newer competitor of Cisco ThousandEyes. Both do very similar things but Cisco ThousandEyes currently is the more mature platform. However, the pricing of Synthetics is very attractive. It does not have the robustness of Cisco ThousandEyes or the …
Connected directly to the switch. Other vendors all seem to be add-ons. They claim they are different, but I don't know why I would go spend additional money for another product.
it is great. Not opensource. Ours was run by a 3rd party provider who had their own version of nmap. The setup and use is simple and get tons of output in reports and alerts. I would like to get more use of this product as I learn more about it

ManageEngine OpManager is more user-friendly and easy to use. It is all on your screen to set up and organize. The service logs monitor could display over a month of performance history, and you can make reports for each of the services, which others cannot do. The 3D viewer, …
ManageEngine stands out effectively when compared to
ControlUp monitoring solutions, mainly due to distinct architectural
differences. One key advantage is its versatile deployment options, including
1. inhouse deployment using ManageEngine OpManager is easy and possible, but site24x7 has cloud based monitoring 2. We use both tools but ManageEngine OpManager is user friendly 3. it has free version up to 10 devices to monitor 4. Always available and very less updates …

As a service provider that is in multiple datacenters it's a great tool to use and leverage. Alot of smaller providers are only using NMS nodes that are hosted in their HQ or in spots that aren't where their content is hosted. Being able to run tests directly from your datacenters (between them or to the content provider itself) gives more accurate results. The downside is if you have no server infrastructure you'll have to install servers/machines to utilize it.
OpManager offers a set of advantages that allow it to adapt to the needs of the company, guaranteeing effective monitoring of the application networks used in our organization. It has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. The initial setup went smoothly and in a decent amount of time.

We changed our RDP port to a non-standard port and monitor servers by that instead of a simple ping. Systems that are busted will still respond to pings.
The dashboard shows us any drives that are almost full. We check this when we do our monthly maintenance.
Monitoring Windows services and event log events and sending notifications when things don't behave as expected.
We have the product, we have a fair amount of wireless issues. You have to go through so many hoops, links and selections that I would think would've been impossible. Maybe if you have a specialized engineer, you would be able to use the thousandeyes product to troubleshoot a problem. But if I want to share with our knock, for example, would be very challenging because there is so many paths that you have to go and there is so many assumptions you have to do to actually find the root cause of the problem. What I would expect is maybe what they can do is implementing some AI today on this product to give some hints, "hey, this might be the problem because the data is there but it's difficult to find." We need an easier way to find how we can use the platform to point out where's the root cause of those problems.
Adding devices to existing groups and applying a group-wide parameter.
Email alerts can be a bit challenging depending on how email is managed within a company, sometimes adding ManageEngine OpManager to the allowed relay list for Exchange is necessary to receive any alerts
We will definitely renew and maybe even extend our usage of ThousandEyes. We have been using ThousandEyes now for a couple of years and it has shown us major benefits. With the new options it offers for SD-WAN for us it is a no brainer to renew our current licenses
There is definitely a learning curve to ThousandEyes, but once you understand how the client deployment works and how to set up monitoring, things go pretty smoothly. I think the initial setting up of clients on endpoints can be a little tricky though.
The rating I provided is based on the product quality, experience (I have been using OpManager for almost the last 4 years), and relevance of the information/response I generated through Manage Engine OpManager. I have also received good support from OpManager.
You have online support from the tool itself 24/7 and they are very responsive. We also have a specific account manager and specific engineer assigned to help us with very specific questions for our environment. The level of response to our requirements is always super high. We have requested specific features to be added and these have been developed and introduced very quick tot he product (within weeks). Their DevOps and agile approach seems to pay off.
At first, we were not able to add our Avaya switches to the configuration backup module, our partner tried to help, but they did not find the solution, we had one remote session with tech support of ME and they solve the problem.
Our Cisco reps actually had someone teach us a few things about the functionality of ThousandEyes, and it helped a lot. The training was good and we had follow-up assistance as well when we had questions about the monitoring and reporting functions. Overall, we were satisfied with the training and support.
Our implementation was pretty straightforward, with some issues loading clients on endpoints. We didn't have any notable issues, and I don't really have any additional insights.
It is a similar product to Cisco ThousandEyes. Both solutions give good network monitoring and traffic analysis. But Cisco ThousandEyes works better with Cisco devices and has real-time alerts that are very useful. It also helps to see network problems faster and make troubleshooting easier. Cisco ThousandEyes is also better for checking SaaS and cloud apps like Azure, AWS, Webex, etc. It has endpoint agents that show network quality directly from user devices. The web interface is simple to use, so the learning curve is not too steep. Also, it has many monitoring points around the world, making it easy to check performance outside the company network.
We have an existing relationship with Manage Engine. Manage engine was a better product in comparison with the other products. It has as option to have addons like network configuration Manager, Firewall log analyzer, switch port mapper, Ip address manager and packet analyzer. Manage engine has an excellent customer support who are always available and response is quick
I think this product would be infinitely scalable since it's all cloud hosted and can support thousands of endpoints if needed. We are only using it for a limited number of endpoints, so we never really considered scalability.
ThousandEyes has helped us quickly isolate issues on some high-profile (within the organization) incidents and whether the network (internally or on the Internet) is at fault. If it is, it becomes easier to see the "where" of the issues quicker so we can move onto what the issue is faster. In the case of non-network related issues, it helps us get the appropriate teams or individuals involved sooner.
