The interface could be more user-friendly, and the initial setup process can be complex. Reporting customization is somewhat limited, and troubleshooting backup or configuration issues may require manual effort. Improved integration options and more advanced analytics would make the product more effective for large enterprise environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager is especially helpful for getting quick, at-a-glance visuals on backup statuses, backup alerts, and an overall easy to grasp UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A personal nitpick I have of the Manage Engine Network Configuration Manager, is having the SSH option tucked under a Tools menu. Many times I find myself just wanting to start an SSH session directly from the decive summary, and not having to navigate to a completely separate menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best about ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager is its automated backup, version control, and compliance management for network device configurations.

ManageEngine NCM is simple to use and doesn't take long to learn. It provides good value for the price and work reliably for managing network device configuration and automated backups and change tracking also make it easier to save and restore network configurations when needed and ease to implementation because of these features, I like ManageEngine Network Configuration manager.

There are some drawbacks in NCM is that Alerts and Notifications can sometimes be too frequent and need time to fine-tune and also sometimes when added new devices in NCM, but device template does not select properly we need select manually but overall, this tool is very powerful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me the best feature which I like about ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager is that I no longer have to worry about manually backing up device configurations or figuring out what changed when an issue occurs. The change tracking and comparison features make troubleshooting much faster and being able to roll back configurations saves a lot of time during problems. Overrall it reduced the amount of repetitive administrative work and makes network magemenent more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve is challenging. Setting up this product and configuring policies takes time It can feel a bit sh=llower orresource intensive in larger environments with many devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager for its compliance check and baseline configuration setup features. The compliance check helps us comply with multiple standards and facilitates the submission of reports to auditors, which is particularly useful during surprise audits because it makes it easier to address any potential gaps. The baseline configuration feature is crucial for us as it provides visibility and allows us to compare the baseline with existing configurations along with their history. Additionally, I like that using ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager has significantly reduced our process completion time from 2 days to just 4-5 hours, and the initial setup was quite easy for us.
