Introduction
ManageEngine OpManager is an end to end software for heterogeneous network management,
and multi-seller undertaking IT systems. The software gives an integrated scale
approach and overall management of the distributed infrastructure of IT, more
complex defects and performance management across all critical resources in IT.
This includes the servers, WAN, VoIP links, domain controllers, virtual servers,
SQL and other critical IT infrastructures [1].
ManageEngine's OpManager has dependably been a profoundly prevalent system monitoring
item for SMBs because of its fine mix of highlights and esteem. The new engineering of the
Enterprise Edition makes OpManager exceptionally fit to the undertaking of monitoring vast,
conveyed systems.
Applications Manager gives you basic JVM metric data fundamental to follow the execution of
ManageEngine OpManager. You can screen measurements and settle on choices on the best way
proportional the application's ability. Drill down the reports from the dial charts to see the point
by point execution measurements utilizing the granular reports and follow up on the discoveries
[4].
PART 1
Network performance management
OpManager is a solitary administration comfort with profundity perceivability and control of
both physical and virtual servers. It screens all servers, applications, administrations and
procedures. It empowers ventures to rapidly resolve server execution and investigate SQL Server

DB execution issues, just as screen applications, VMWare ESX servers and Guest OS, Exchange
server, MS Active Directory execution [2].
Scope
With OpManager, it is presently simple to screen the wellbeing of all system gadgets, gain
perceivability in system traffic designs, computerize arrange change and setup the board,
investigate and investigate WAN issues and screen and investigate VoIP execution.
Contribution
ManageEngine OpManager basically centers around framework the management, yet in addition
gives IT generalists some great application execution the board and system checking highlights.
The software has an IP address management capability making it possible for the allocation of
enough resources to the network devices [3].
Limitation
• Does not at present offer outsider information relocation
• The current interface. The past interface was increasingly natural and simple to utilize
• Some of our equipment was not bolstered out of the crate, anyway custom reports can be
made to help these.
• There are no drawbacks of this product. One can make specific alarms yet this product
comes up short on a portion of the MBI's.

Why OpManager is perfect fit for network monitoring
OpManager offers a proactive system monitoring arrangement and is stacked with amazing
highlights that empower IT overseers to determine organize blackouts rapidly and assume
responsibility for their system [5].
With OpManager, it is presently simple to ;
 Screen the health of all gadgets in the network
 Increase perceivability in network traffic designs
 Computerize network change and design management
 Examine and investigate WAN Issues
 Screen and investigate VoIP execution
Network monitoring and troubleshooting process

PART 2
How ManageEngine OpManager provide real-time availability monitor
Screen arrange gadgets' execution continuously by means of live dashboards and charts. Measure
basic measurements like bundle misfortune, blunders and disposes of and so on. With
OpManager's ongoing diagrams, management get continuous insights on gadget CPU and
memory usage, up-to-the-second data on any execution metric of a gadget and constant
traffic/transmission capacity use of an interface/port.
OpManager screens different execution measurements, for example, CPU/Memory/Disk usage as
long as a moment interim. It gives a graphical perspective on these measurements to screen and
gauge server execution, continuously [8]. It additionally enables you to penetrate down to a
specific time interim to see progressively about the issue and take fundamental activities
proactively with the goal that you can fix it before it makes genuine harm your business. It
intermittently screens servers by means of SNMP and WMI conventions to guarantee that they
are ready for action at their ideal execution level, 24×7. It stores every one of the information for
verifiable execution following and investigating, in this manner killing the requirement for
numerous server monitoring devices [10].
How ManageEngine OpManager perform Network traffic analysis
Moderate system traffic is a worry for each association. Systems may confront transmission
capacity related issues because of a particular application, framework, or WLAN. OpManager
permits you recognize transfer speed hoards so you can improve your system traffic before it
influences your system [7]. Assume responsibility for system execution monitoring by dissecting
your system's transmission capacity execution and traffic designs with OpManager's Simple
Network Management Protocol, which allows you screen gadget traffic. You can see interface

traffic, channel traffic by time interim, and view the last surveyed traffic esteem. OpManager's
NetFlow module gives inside and out perceivability on system traffic examples and data transfer
capacity usage with help for NetFlow, sFlow, jFlow, IPFIX, and the sky is the limit from there.
PART 3
The comparison was made between the ManageEngine OpManager software and SolarWinds
software. The similarities and differences were also drawn as below.
Similarities
Setup
Both SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor and ManageEngine OpManager offer a setup
procedure that is direct. With SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor once you've
downloaded the program you will be guided through the establishment procedure by a design
wizard. So also, when you've downloaded ManageEngine OpManager you start up an
establishment wizard. You are provoked to acknowledge the permit understanding and form of
OpManager that you wish to introduce [6].
Autodiscovery
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor enables the client to avoid this dreary procedure
using its autodiscovery highlight. With autodiscovery, SolarWinds Network Performance
Monitorautomatically perceives gadgets associated all through your system and designs them. It
does this by SNMP surveying every gadget and logging the got data. ManageEngine OpManager
likewise has its own incredible autodiscovery include that can find in excess of 5,000 interfaces

consistently. ManageEngine OpManager utilizes SNMP, ICMP, WMI, and Telnet to find a wide
scope of gadgets [6].
Alerts
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor has been structured in accordance with the theory that
such a large number of cautions cause "loss of motion by examination". Subsequently, it expects
to limit alarms to urgent occasions. You can characterize your own trigger conditions to figure
out what occasions you get warnings for and when. Limiting warnings serves to keep you from
being spammed with notices outside of working hours [9].
If the framework perceives dangerous conduct then you can pick which colleague told by email
or SMS. This is exceptionally helpful in light of the fact that it enables you to hit out with a
focused on reaction to dangers as they happen instead of passing on messages to other staff
physically after the occasion. ManageEngine OpManager additionally has its own differing
cautions framework. With the cautions framework, clients can get alarms through email or SMS.
You can have alarms that incorporate a note itemizing the current issue helping the beneficiary to
make a move to address it.

Differences
VoIP Monitoring
In increasingly complex systems with VOIP arrangements, ManageEngine OpManager pays
profits. ManageEngine OpManager enables you to screen VoIP answers for issues, for example,
parcel misfortune and dormancy. There is even a devoted VoIP monitoring page which enables
you to point to a call's area.
Lamentably, SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor doesn't have a similar usefulness. So as
to run compelling VoIP Monitoring with a SolarWinds item, you have to download SolarWinds
VoIP and Network Quality Manager. Subsequently, if your system setup includes VoIP gadgets
you'll see that ManageEngine OpManager has considerably more ready to help you out of the
container [11].
IP Address Management
IP Address Management is another element where ManageEngine OpManager is head and
shoulders above SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor.
On ManageEngine OpManager you can check subnets to see which IP addresses are accessible.
This is huge on the grounds that every gadget on your system needs its own IP address. Having
the capacity to designate IP addresses lightens the problem of attempting to dispense constrained
assets for system gadgets. SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor offers no such element. In
any case, it is significant that you can direct IP address the board with the SolarWinds IP Address
Manager [12].

Conclusion
ManageEngine OpManager basically centers around framework the management, yet
additionally gives IT generalists some great application execution the board and system checking
highlights. Despite the fact that its not flawless as every single other framework seem to be, its
best fit in the checking of the system and general administration when contrasted with others. At
the point when contrasted with SolarWinds software, it rose that the similitudes and
functionalities were practically comparative, yet then the distinctions was unmistakable all things
considered. The thing that matters was that tremendous that made ManageEngine OpManager a
long ways in front of the SolarWinds software.It is in this way unmistakable that ManageEngine
OpManager remains the King of all system monitoring software projects.
