OpManager is the value pick for admins who would rather count devices than sensors. ManageEngine licenses by device and says each device can carry any number of interfaces, disk volumes and sensors, which keeps costs predictable on busy switches. Standard Edition starts at $245 for 25 devices and covers discovery, availability and interface monitoring, physical servers, alarms and business views. Professional, from $345 for 25 devices, adds advanced discovery, agent-based and virtual server monitoring, network path analysis, workflow automation and AIOps features. Enterprise starts at $4,595 for 250 devices for distributed monitoring and high availability. Visualization is a strength, with Layer 2 maps, virtual topology maps and 3D floor and rack views, and there are mobile apps. The downside is product sprawl: NetFlow analysis, configuration management and firewall analysis are separate ManageEngine products or part of the larger OpManager Nexus bundle, so the full bill depends on what you add.

Who it is for
