Solved our 2 main problems, switch backup, switch upgrades Pros Runs on linux, easy to install, does the basics well Cons script/macro engine is weak, would prefer a full fledged script language, maybe a python hook. One feature it doesn't have is what we call cdp, its a custom script that will keep track of the switch and its neighbor, it allows allows search by ip or Mac to find physical port.

MIS Director Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Network Configuration Manager is a fantastic addon to Opamanger" March 8, 2023 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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.
