ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager Reviews

Summary: Overall, ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager has been a dependable solution for managing and monitoring network device configurations in a centralized way. The automation features, configuration backups, compliance tracking, and change management tools help reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency. It supports multiple network vendors, which makes it suitable for complex environments. Although the initial setup and some advanced features may require a bit of learning, the platform becomes very useful once properly configured. It is a solid choice for organizations looking to improve network stability, security, and configuration management.

Positive: Using ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager has made handling network configurations much more organized and less time-consuming for our team. The automated backup feature gives confidence that device configurations are always secure and easy to restore when needed. One thing I particularly like is the ability to quickly identify configuration changes and compare versions without manually checking devices. It also supports a wide range of network vendors, which is very useful in mixed network environments. The compliance tracking and alert system help maintain better control over network security and operational standards. Overall, it has reduced repetitive manual work and improved visibility across our network infrastructure.

Negative: ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager is a powerful tool, but the initial setup can be slightly complicated for new users. Some advanced features take time to learn, and the interface may feel a bit crowded when managing many devices. Reporting customization could also be improved for better flexibility.

Summary: Overall Experience has been really good and we are looking to further customize the product according to our needs.

Positive: 1.) OpManager is really easy to use for network monitoring and very easy to setup the parameters to monitor the network
2.) Support team is really helpful for issues and any feature releases or bug fixes.

Negative: 1.) Some SNMP features such as VPN monitoring are not included as part of SNMP packages.
2.) Each feature is separately prized which is a big drawback as some of the features can be included as part of the base package.

Summary: I would recommend using OP Manager to other companies, It has a simple and easy to follow interface which is customisable. It shows details of CPU, Memory etc. usage

Positive: I like having a clear representation of networking within the whole company even with multiple sites. OP manager keeps me up to date with what is up/down which is helpful

Negative: I'm not sure what is the support like because I never had to use it

Summary: It moved us away from manual SSH backups to a proper version-controlled system. It’s not as "fancy" as Ansible, but it’s much faster to deploy for a team that doesn't want to write YAML all day.

Positive: The "Configlet" feature is a massive time-saver for bulk ACL updates. I also love the "diff" view between startup and running configs; it caught a forgotten 'write mem' before a scheduled reboot.

Negative: The TFTP/SCP transfer can be finicky on older hardware, often timing out during large backups. Also, the compliance reports are a bit rigid; trying to build custom regex rules is quite a headache.

Summary: We are using the Network Configuration Manager for managing all our device and servers configurations. It easily integrates with the OpManager and dashboards helps in getting the required reports. Support for almost all vendors are avaliable like Fortinet, HPE, Juniper, Cisco and more.

Positive: 1. ManageEngine Network a multi‑vendor Network Configuration and Change Management tool for managing configurations, automation of backups, change tracking and compliance.
2. Our network and infra teams are using it to centralize configuration control, reduce manual effort, and strengthen security in our organization.
3. Real time change in configuration of network devices can be tracked and detected using this platform.

Negative: There are no dislikes for this platform. Alerting mechanism is great and notifications can be sent to required officials if there is a new configuration done or if there is change in configuration observed. This helps in identifying the user who had made the change and at times helps in identifying the threats to the organization.

Summary: NCM simplifies multi-vendor network management with automated backups, compliance, and security, but setup is complex, UI customization limited, and advanced automation features are minimal.

Positive: Automates backups and config changes, ensures compliance, enhances security, and simplifies multi-vendor network management.

Negative: Initial setup complexity, limited advanced automation, UI customization gaps, and extra costs for premium features.
