Over 28,000 happy customers worldwide trust ManageEngine
Solarwinds users have experienced constant changes in ownership, security breaches, license revisions, and recurring price hikes in the past decade. ManageEngine however, has always been private, independent, and boot-strapped. Our focus is on user experience and data security over profits.
You can choose the plan that works for you, perpetual or subscription. Solarwinds customers are often forced to choose subscription plans for their observability solution with multi-year lock-in periods. With ManageEngine, you can monitor what you want, for as long as you want to.
All our IT solutions have transparent pricing tiers, which are listed in our product store pages. Licensing is simple and resource-based (device/server/application/website). Other solutions might offer a lower cost up-front and later present you with hidden costs, but with ManageEngine, what you see up-front is what you need to pay.
Solarwinds observability solutions are priced per resource per month. When the pricing is compared for 250 devices, ManageEngine's On-premise and SaaS-based monitoring solutions are 80% cheaper than the respective Solarwinds Observability solutions.

Get end-to-end network performance insights, across the LAN, WAN, wireless, storage, and virtual networks. Monitor critical metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss, get alerted for downtime and QoS violations, and set up performance monitoring for KPI's like CPU, memory, and response time.
Monitor the top end of the IT stack with in-depth visibility. Monitor the response time, quality scores, and errors of your user-facing services. You can drill down into your applications to get code-level insights and to keep track of various KPIs. You can also identify and solve database issues that impact application performance by monitoring SQL statements to identify slow database calls.
Create better customer experiences by testing the performance of critical user paths on your website 24x7. Check from real browsers (Chrome/ Firefox), test from multiple locations, and monitor front-end performance based on actual traffic.
Keep tabs on network nodes and end-points, including routers, switches, firewalls, access points, SD-WAN, WLCs, printers, and load balancers. Keep track of network performance with device and vendor specific KPIs and get alerted for performance issues with instant alarms.
Monitor physical and virtual servers for uptime and performance. Track the CPU, memory, disk space, traffic usage, and hardware health. You can monitor active processes and services, and remotely start, stop, or restart processes and services to optimize performance.
Ensure optimal storage and database performance with dedicated metrics. When it comes to storage devices like RAIDs and tape libraries, you can monitor the capacity, hardware health, and logical components like LUNs. For databases, you can monitor critical operations, IOPs, queries, connections, and optimize performance by narrowing down slow-running queries, and so on.
Keep track of configuration changes across your network devices and firewalls to ensure business continuity and reslience. You can upload and schedule configs, analyze firewall policies, review config changes across different versions, and perform roll-backs
Gain in-depth visibility into Flows and Packets to track the traffic usage statistics across your network. Analyze the bandwidth utilization for your users, devices, and applications, and perform traffic shaping to optimize performance. You can also analyze traffic patterns, track abnormal spikes, and investigate traffic forensics reports.
Set up compliance montoring for popular standards like HIPAA, SOX, and PCI DSS as well as custom organizational compliance policies by creating rules and policies. Get alerted for compliance violations. You can also monitor your network devices for the latest firmware vulnerabilities from NIST's websites and get alerts with suggested remedial actions.
ManageEngine's monitoring tools use in-built AI/ML engines to calculate and update multi-level alarm thresholds for all performance monitors every hour, cutting down false positives. They also track critical resources like CPU, memory, and disk space with ML-powered predictive forecasts to predict resource exhaustion and performance bottlenecks.
ManageEngine employs advanced algorithms to forecast future resource utilization and performance trends. It analyzes past patterns, including seasonality and growth rates, to predict when specific metrics are likely to reach critical thresholds. You can also leverage advanced Gen-AI powered summaries to generate concise, conversational summaries of key events and insights across your IT deployments.
ManageEngine's script-free drag-and-drop workflow automation builder features 70+ actions to help you execute complex outcome-based IT remediation workflows, troubleshooting steps, and network management tasks with ease.
While SolarWinds did the job at that time, ManageEngine OpManager took us to the next level in terms of simplifying complexities and providing comprehensive network coverage.
