Configlets and Email notifications are useful when there is alot of other systems to take care of

the configlets have a weird way to be programmed

NCM as a produce is very nice, affordable and easy to manage.

Auto configuration options and reporting

Support team and their way of resolving the issue.

In terms of config back-up and configlets it has done fantastic job whereas in terms of compliance and vulnerabilities it is not up to the mark.

Config back-up set up is the most liked feature in the application

Since there is the compliance report in the tool it should give the report for all the devices which are on-boarded to tool. In my case it was unable to give the compliance report for the HP Aruba devices

As a Network Engineer, it saved me a lot of time backing up the configuration and deploying changes.

The automatic backups and change deployments from one central point to all devices.

I don't have any dislikes. The product has all the features we require and it is easy to setup.

We are using NCM to make sure we have config backups of our network devices. In the future, we will explore the compliance and syslog change management piece.

Personally, I like the layout and the many different features. We are just getting started and have only scratched the surface but so far, its been pretty sweet. I would say there is a bit of a learning curve but that comes with most things. With a little trial and error, it is not too bad. That is not to mention support is great (thanks [sensitive content hidden]), they respond ASAP and get you to a resolution.

I think the inventory view could make it a bit more clear on what is managed on what isn't. For example, you might have a device that has the credentials applied and you can attempt to back it up but it might not be "managed". Maybe the icons could be more explanatory initially.

It is very easy to use and automates the Network Configuration for Backups and restoration and Compliance Check. It helps the Administrator to track, Monitor and modify configurations. Centralized control from Single Dashboard is the best feature.

Nothing special to highlight. This is as per my expectations.

Easy management and implementation of network management

Until now nothing. Still some functions need to completed.

options for managing and maintaining network.

no issue I found its suited my work need .

Good to have it for network envirnoment to manage. Best to use along with Opmanager and NFA for more effectiveness of Network infrastructure handling and monitoring.

1. Compliance reports. 2. Two Factor authentication 3. Multiple login options i.e. Basic, SAML, 2 factor etc 4.Third party integration

Thirdparty integration can be made avaiable with API or webhook. SNMP Traps required to send for any alerting / alarms /events.

NCM is good to use for like accessing the network switches with logs. and configurations can barely mistake.

For me, I would like to learn the NCM from scratch, didn't catch till now. Hope I got later.

Our overall experience with the product was great. Their pricing is very competitive, the product was easy to install and configure, and in no time we were backing up the configurations of all of our network devices which is exactly what we wanted. We have also configured automatic change notification email alerts when any change is made on any of our network configurations.

The most important features for us are the automatic configuration backups of all of our network devices. NCM is very easy to use and very easy to implement.

I would like the ability for real time monitoring for our network devices with notification when they are no longer reachable. NCM alerts us via email when a device fails the hourly automatic config backup, which is nice, but quite what we would like from a monitoring perspective. However NCM is not a monitoring product and ManageEngine sells OpManager for that sort of thing.

Overall the product is very stable and works continuously. We've had a handful of issues, but the support team were great on identifying and resolving issues for us.

We backup all out devices hourly and have emailed change detection enabled, this is key for our global team to understand any changes made clearing showing the before and after changes.

We have some Cisco ASA Firewalls with multiple contexts which are only accessible from the mgmt context, so are not able to see each context in NCM. As a workaround, we use configlets to backup all context files by tftp instead. Also it would be great to have the open to change a device template attached to a device, currently if we want to use a different device template, we have to delete and re-add - which also loses all config change history.

comparing technical support and features Manage Engine ncm is better than other products.

Device configuration backup is an important feature in ManageEngine NCM. It allows organizations to automatically and regularly back up the configurations of their network devices, ensuring that critical network configurations are always safe and available in case of a failure or other issue.

ManageEngine NCM supports a wide range of network devices from various vendors, including Cisco, Juniper, HP, Fortinet, and more. It is available as both an on-premises and cloud-based solution, making it accessible to organizations of all sizes.

My overall experience is a positive one and I think once the small bugs are addressed it will be a very popular product at a third of the cost of some industry leaders such as Solarwinds. Perfect for businesses that sit on the threshold between medium and large business.

NCM, along with its supporting packages gives you a very powerful toolset. NCM is amazing at providing all the necessary management features all in one pane of glass. The ability to track changes and backup are very useful as well as the ability to alert and monitor interfaces.

There isn't one specific feature that i didn't like however I would say that there appears to be a mixed experience when it comes to implementing. There appears to be a bug with running backup and change detection at the same time, some switches tend to repeat certain syslog messages and this in turn creates a backup loop.

I love manage engine products. In addition, I love how you can combine multiple products.

I like the customer support and ease of deployment. You can't find a better product in this price range.

I really cannot think of anything. This is a great product.

Helpfull tools, especially when device down ang we need restore configuration to new device, fast and easy.

Backup configuration, and version configuration change, easy to use and monitor

User interface tool looks like heavy to load, need good spec to load

ease of installation, ease of use. Great customer support

firmware upgrades are a little complex and take forever to complete

Great process, Great product. It is a no nonsense approach to backup and manage your network devices

Easy to setup and was able to manage devices quickly

Version control could get a little confusing at first but I got used to it

It offers a range of features and capabilities to streamline network configuration tasks and ensure network compliance. The solution allows for the automation of routine tasks, such as firmware upgrades, to save time and reduce the risk of errors.

Creating highly customized configuration templates or reports can be complex.

ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager provides the ability to access the networking devices remotely in a secure fashion which is highly desirable. All the configurations can be backed up on regular basis which is very vital for any organization with vast variety of devices and models. We have been using this product for a long time and will continue doing it.

Navigating the tool can be improved but besides that can't think of anything else.

Overall, the manageengine tools are fantastic and provide a lot of features for a very reasonable cost. The integration of these ad-hoc tools within some of their larger tools like Opmanger just makes them even better.

Honestly, it nearly set itself up. We obviously had to create some policy customization, but out of the box it was immediately useful by identifying issues with firmware updates, capturing config backups and all sorts of other taks.

We had an issue with the config backup on a single switch that even manageengine couldn't immediately help with. It took a few tries to find a tech who could assist. Other than that, it works really well.

Overall easy to setup and maintain throughout the years. NCM works efficiently and is fairly reliable. A convenient way to centralize your critical network assets configuration and guarantee an easy recovery in case of disasters or human mistakes.

The product is easy to set up and understand. The ManageEngine team is always there to help you and support you during the process and after. The product brings tons of features including network assets vulnerabilities management system, configuration backups, and more. It's an affordable piece of software that covers an important part of an IT team day-to-day.

The lack of support for more specific devices, however ManageEngine often provides support and alternatives. The ability to integrate a wide spectrum of brands and OS would bring to a more competitive level.

1. The tool always monitor internet device, traffic in teal time and quickly detect issues and anomalies.2. Auto backup configuration of network devices.3. Alerts and notification when change configuration or compliance violations.4. Implement role-based access control.

The tool ensure a smooth using experience. No cons

great experience in total, will recommend to others

the change detection feature is a very comprehensive config review.

Slow in adding new features, not like other manageengine products
