What sets ManageEngine apart from tools like PRTG?

  • AI-powered monitoring
  • Network automation
  • Mapping and visualization

Eliminate uncertainty from your monitoring with AI

ManageEngine's monitoring solutions incorporate a powerful ML engine that ingests and refines monitored data to train itself constantly. You can leverage this data to predict network activity, reduce alarm noise, and eliminate false positives.

 
Network path analysis
Adaptive thresholds
Root-cause analysis
Adaptive thresholds

Set alarm thresholds automatically with AI-powered analytics. ManageEngine calculates and adjusts three levels of alarm thresholds based on collected historical data. Any abnormalities that might affect your IT systems can be instantly flagged.

Network performance forecasting

Forecast monitored performance metrics hours, days, and weeks ahead in time. ManageEngine ingests historic performance data like CPU utilization, incoming traffic, or memory usage, and plots expected values in a graphical format.

Forecast reports

Perform capacity planning proactively by predicting when your IT resources run out. Forecast reports analyze current resource utilization trends and lists the number of days left till they get used up.

Speed up incident response with automated workflows

ManageEngine features automated workflows that can execute actions in your devices, change monitoring settings, and export data to other solutions. By leveraging this, you can start diagnostics and remediation steps instantly and gain a head-start in the race against SLAs.

REST-API based automation

ManageEngine offers out-of-the-box integrations with ITSM and chat tools to automate cross-platform workflows. You can automatically raise tickets for network issues, sync your CMDB to track changes to the network, and send context-rich notifications in group chats for faster fault resolution.

Rule-based automation

Create schedules and conditional rules to automate repetitive monitoring tasks. For instance, you can automate post-discovery monitor association, add discovered devices to groups, correlate related alarms, or escalate unattended alarms.

Gain in-depth visibility with maps and visualization

ManageEngine features color-coded, multi-format visualization tools and maps to represent monitored data in a easy-to-understand manner. Maps and visualization tools can be incorporated into dashboards to provide visibility into the network infrastructure at one glance.

Why customers prefer ManageEngine

 

As a Broadband Service Provider, knowing when your primary Internet connects go down is paramount. Site24x7 provides 24x7 monitoring of our circuits from the outside of our network and alerts us when they go down. I am a hard sleeper, and emails and texts do not wake me up. What I love about Site24x7 is the flexibility to configure the alerts to call me after hours when one of our primary circuits goes down. The network team I manage depends on Site24x7 for on-time notifications of our circuit outages so that we can promptly take action and get them resolved with our upstream carriers. I always recommend Site24x7 to my network colleagues for monitoring services.

Previously, I used PRTG in my environment and recently switched to OpManager. I am overall much happier with this move. To name a few reasons:

  • When adding a device, OpManager already has a profile built for you with sensors setup. In PRTG, you can also set up a profile; however, you have to sit there and build it yourself initially.
  • The reports offer much better Information. I can get information that was presented to me by PRTG and VMWare Realize, now are all under the same product. Essentially, this eliminates two products in my environment.
  • I also feel that OpManager is a complete product. My goal was to find one product I could use to replace multiple monitoring solutions. OpManager with Flow analysis, IP management, config management, domain controller monitoring, storage, and application monitoring is it.
