Learn how OpManager fits into your network
Highlands and Islands Airports Limited, or HIAL, is a private company owned by the Scottish government that runs 11 regional airports out of remote regions in Scotland like Inverness, Barra, Kirkwall, and Dundee. Their company values insist on "creating social benefit and economic prosperity by building Scotland's sustainable regional airport group of the future". HIAL's IT team wanted to switch from Solarwinds Orion to a network monitoring tool offering better functionality and an integration with ServiceDesk Plus. They wanted to monitor key metrics such as availability, packet loss, CPU, memory, and disk utilization for their IT infrastructure that included servers, network devices, VMs, and storage devices.
ManageEngine OpManager was the obvious choice. Now the HIAL IT team monitors their airport IT infrastructure of 477 devices distributed over 11 locations with OpManager. OpManager monitors key airport IT systems such as flight information displays, PBXs, radio units, switches, servers, and azure servers. The IT team finds OpManger very much fit for the role, especially because of its clean UI, ability to monitor many vendors using SNMP, monitors for drive space, switch port errors, and the ability to log tickets with the help desk tool.

“I have a long-standing relationship with ManageEngine. OpManager has always missed one or two features that would make it truly the best tool on the market, but over it is the most comprehensive and easy to use the product in the market.”
- Team Lead, IT Service Industry
“We have been using OpManager since 2011 and our overall experience has been excellent. The tool plays a vital role in providing the value to our organization and to the customers we are supporting. The support is excellent and staff takes full responsibilities in resolving the issues. Innovation is never stopping and clearly visible with newer versions”

“I started out using OpUtils, which is a subset of OpManager and I loved OpUtils so I checked out OpManager and was extremely impressed with all of the capabilities and 3rd party services that could be integrated. I know during the initial trial of OpManager, I kept getting pulled away and it took me longer to finish the evaluation than I expected but my account rep was there all the way, helping me out when I needed it.”
- IT Engineer, Construction
“"ManageEngine OpManager came highly recommended when we went to market for a Network Device Monitoring Solution. Our requirements for a solution in this regard were surpassed with the product’s capabilities and the licensing cost were within the allocated budget. Deployment was straightforward and well documented, also technical support offered by the ManageEngine PitStop platform is very good and responsive. Overall experience exceeded expectations."”
- Sr. Networking and Infrastructure Security Specialist, Software
“I had a very good experience deploying and discovering how to configure it. One of the main evaluation criteria’s was to use something straightforward, so I tried to do it without reading the manuals in the beginning. For advanced topics, you have the manuals. It is intuitive for anyone who has already worked with a monitoring system before.”
- IT technician
“OpManager is a very useful tool for a Lab Environments. It's the right size platform and cost structured well to allow us to start small and flexible enough to enable features ad-hoc. “
