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....
