Good question, we do not use manageengine for NMS and I have no desire to use them either. I tried their NMS platform last year and it was "ok", the interface just seemed a little clunky....
Setting up ManageEngine syslog was a breeze and now we get alerts based on what kind of messages we want, it's pretty hands off, I'm sure you could fine tune it further... But I hear that solarwinds NPM has syslog built into it, so I'm thinking of going with one product that covers it all.... > Subject: Re: events > From: ja...@lixfeld.ca > Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:21:38 -0400 > To: nanog@nanog.org > > On 2011-09-30, at 2:13 PM, Brandon Kim wrote: > > > I've been happy with my basic ManageEngine's syslog, but I may be looking > > at Solarwinds too... > > I've just installed the Splunk eval myself, but I'm curious about your > ManageEngine experiences.
