Enhanced our change management discipline in several ways

In my opinion the overall experience has been quite relaxing. From the above statement, the following outcomes are notable: I can now monitor as well as review command changes from an integrated cockpit while being compliant to the internal audit policies.

Pros:

I found the real time configuration alerts very useful to track unauthorized changes throughout many routers and switches. It also allowed me to address problems before getting out of hand especially during the time of critical maintenance this made the oversight of the network much more reliable.

Cons:

One challenge I came across was that some of the firmware vulnerability scanners do not scan few of the older Cisco device so there are some areas uncovered. For those I had to use manual checking of which significantly hampered my full compliance exercise.

Pros:

ability for Net Config mgr to backup configs track changes and allow a hierarchy for approval is great. standards implementations made easy.

Cons:

implementation was long as we had existing securtiy measures in place so every device needed to be touched to allow SSH and SNMP settings adjusted, but if you want an omelet u have to break some eggs

Reasons for choosing ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager

better value for a new platform that cna expand with multiple other modules

Reasons for switching to ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager

Pros:

It is noteworthy that Network Configuration Manager supports multi-vendor environments exceptionally well. Having to configurer numerous devices from many different manufacturers has been made easier through the use of this tool allowing us to have a on Stop tool instead of many tools.

Cons:

I noticed that while performing tasks related to configuration in the high traffic zone, a little bit of time might be taken for the same. Although it is not severe, latency may be problematic for time-sensitive operations.

Pros:

In the area of reporting Network Configuration Manager shines and offers almost everything a compliance manager could need. Creating reports based on specific standards such as PCI and HIPAA has also helped in preparing and passing through audits effectively.

Cons:

There is always duplication of alerts for the same event, meaning that the team receives many alerts, and it gets boring after sometime. The idea of adjusting some alert thresholds could increase the level of practicality.

Pros:

It surprised me that I could turn the configuration of a few tens of device to the same settings at once without the separate logins and scripts. Using the Network Configuration Manager, I can revert to earlier versions if the experimental changes are not ideal.

Cons:

The device support library can occasionally be slow to incorporate new hardware products in the market. After installing models that are newly developed, I had to deploy backup scripts or templates myself.

Pros:

Network Configuration Manager also has a rollback feature which can be synchronized with automatic backups. Finally, the history of backup archive makes me comfortable with the idea that I can easily audit and restore devices older states if they are required.

Cons:

Scheduling of compliance audits is a little formulized through the scheduling interface. I have not been able to achieve an exact match of scans with off-peak hours especially where I have designed my own custom policy sets.

Pros:

With Network Configuration Manager, I am able to discover new vulnerabilities in firmware of the network devices and update the firmware to ensure there are no risks. This is true because it has ensured that our network is secured throughout the period hence achieving its aim.

During accidental overwrites, the planned backup for the system configuration was useful. The rollback option was effective in smoothly reverting back the devices to its healthier state and the violation dashboard was useful in tracking policy violations.

Pros:

The automated configuration backup in ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager gives satisfaction. Being aware that device configurations are usually synchronized and can be easily repaired in a short period in the event of any problems has enhanced our disaster recovery plans.

Cons:

The firmware vulnerability management appears to be a bit slow in providing the most recent updates of CVE entries. This requires follow-up by manual checking to ensure that all the vulnerabilities are closed as and when they are discovered.
