Do you have what you need to recover??" — 5.0/5 > **Greg** | *13 June 2023* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ability for Net Config mgr to backup configs track changes and allow a hierarchy for approval is great. standards implementations made easy. > > **Cons**: implementation was long as we had existing securtiy measures in place so every device needed to be touched to allow SSH and SNMP settings adjusted, but if you want an omelet u have to break some eggs ----- ### "Process automation" — 5.0/5 > **Alexandr** | *20 November 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Here are the main advantages of ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager (NCM), which are most often noted by administrators and which are considered the strongest sides of the product.: 1. Centralized configuration management You can manage the configurations of all network devices from one location — switches, routers, firewalls, and Wi-Fi points. Saves a lot of time when working with a large number of devices. 2. Automatic backups > > **Cons**: Limited parsing and template capabilities Automatic configuration parsing does not always work correctly with: non-standard configs, by specific vendors, complex ACLs or firewall policies. Sometimes you need to manually add templates. > > My experience with ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is related to the tasks of automating network infrastructure management, change control, and fault tolerance through timely configuration backups. 1. Deployment and initial configuration When implementing NCM, it performed: deploying a server on Windows/Linux; connecting network devices from different vendors (Cisco, Mikrotik, Huawei, HP/Aruba, Fortinet); configuring credentials and access profiles; integration with OpManager and ServiceDesk Plus to automate incident handling. Plus, the process of connecting devices is quite simple, but for some models it was necessary to manually adjust the backup/restore commands. ----- ### "Network configuration mnager" — 5.0/5 > **Dhanasekar** | *21 March 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: we use NCM extensively for backup of our network devices. Keeping track of changes. Complaince feature. > > **Cons**: There are no features in particular that is missing. It covers majority of vendors and devices. > > Good ----- ### "Positively contributed to the enhancement of company’s operational stability" — 4.0/5 > **Paketleme** | *10 April 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that in the ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager the tool offers an instant rollback to the last saved configuration. I have learned that from a faulty firewall rule I can quickly restore and continue my work without having to spend time to configure from the scratch, or else it would lead to much more downtime. > > **Cons**: It has a very effective automated backup feature which suffers from failing to perform the backup if the network traffic is very high. This compelled me to create outside alerts to avoid getting realize some backup milestones during such moments. > > With the help of Network Configuration Manager, there has been an improvement of the reliability of change control. It has become the norm to check device statuses, check for policy adherence, and to develop new changes here and there for testing. ----- ### "Enhanced our change management discipline in several ways" — 4.0/5 > **Cezmi** | *10 April 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I found the real time configuration alerts very useful to track unauthorized changes throughout many routers and switches. It also allowed me to address problems before getting out of hand especially during the time of critical maintenance this made the oversight of the network much more reliable. > > **Cons**: One challenge I came across was that some of the firmware vulnerability scanners do not scan few of the older Cisco device so there are some areas uncovered. For those I had to use manual checking of which significantly hampered my full compliance exercise. > > In my opinion the overall experience has been quite relaxing. From the above statement, the following outcomes are notable: I can now monitor as well as review command changes from an integrated cockpit while being compliant to the internal audit policies. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/435150/manageengine-network-configuration-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/435150/manageengine-network-configuration-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
