About

Network Configuration Manager is a multi-vendor network change, configuration and compliance management (NCCM) solution for switches, routers, firewalls and other network devices. NCM helps automate and take total control of the entire life cycle of device configuration management. Schedule device configuration backups, track user activity and spot changes by comparing configuration versions all from a centralized web GUI. Monitor configuration changes, get instant notifications and prevent unauthorized changes to make your networking environment secure, stable and compliant. Define standard practices and policies, check device configurations for violations and readily apply remedial measures to ensure device compliance. Save time by automating repetitive, time-consuming configuration management tasks and also by centrally applying configuration changes to devices in bulk.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As a Network Security Engineer, I use ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager to maintain secure and consistent configurations across our firewalls, routers, and switches. It has helped us reduce the risk of unauthorized configuration changes and improved the visibility of our network environment. One of the features I value most is configuration change auditing. It allows us to quickly identify when a device configuration has been modified and compare different versions to verify that only approved changes were made. This has made security investigations and troubleshooting much more efficient.
  • As an IT Infrastructure Engineer, ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager has become an important part of our network operations. It helps us automate configuration backups for routers, switches, and firewalls, which has reduced manual work and improved our disaster recovery process. One feature I use regularly is configuration change tracking. It quickly identifies who made a change and what was modified, making troubleshooting much faster when unexpected network issues occur. The scheduled backups and version history also give us confidence that we can restore device configurations whenever needed. The compliance reports are useful for ensuring our network devices follow internal security standards. I also like the ability to manage multiple vendors from a single console instead of logging into each device individually.
  • Automated Backups & Recovery: Scheduled, versioned backups enable rapid restoration of device configurations, minimizing downtime and ensuring service continuity. Change Auditing & Accountability: Real-time tracking records who made changes, what was changed, and when, supporting auditing and accountability requirements. Automation with Configlets: Configuration templates allow bulk updates across multiple devices, reducing manual effort and improving consistency. Compliance Management: NCM identifies non-compliant configurations and supports custom policies to help meet governance and regulatory requirements. Firmware Vulnerability Management: Built-in vulnerability scanning detects outdated firmware and security risks, enabling proactive remediation.
  • ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager has been a very effective solution for managing and monitoring network device configurations across our environment. The automated configuration backup feature helps ensure that critical device settings are securely stored and easily recoverable. Change tracking and compliance management provide excellent visibility into configuration modifications, helping reduce risks and improve governance.
  • As a Senior Network Engineer, I spend a lot of time managing network changes, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and ensuring our infrastructure remains stable. One of the biggest advantages I've found with ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager is that it gives us complete visibility into configuration changes without having to manually log into every device. The feature I rely on most is the automated configuration backup. Knowing that every scheduled backup is available gives us confidence before making any planned network changes. On more than one occasion, we were able to restore a previous configuration within minutes after a routing policy update caused an unexpected issue. That alone has saved our team valuable troubleshooting time.

Cons

  • The initial setup takes some time, and the reporting interface could be more intuitive, especially when creating custom compliance reports. Better visualization of security trends would also make the platform even more useful.
  • The interface can feel a bit overwhelming for first-time users, and creating advanced automation policies requires some learning. More modern dashboards and easier report customization would improve the overall experience.
  • Complex Setup: Some legacy devices may require manual configuration and support assistance. Performance Issues: Large-scale operations and reports can slow the web console and require strong server resources. Learning Curve: Advanced compliance rules, approval workflows can be challenging for new IT staff.
  • The initial setup and configuration process can be somewhat complex, especially in larger environments with many devices. Some advanced features require additional time to learn and configure properly. Reporting customization could be more flexible, and occasional performance slowdowns may occur when managing very large numbers of network devices. Documentation for certain advanced use cases could also be improved.
  • If there's one area I'd like to see improved, it would be the user interface. It isn't difficult to use, but it could benefit from a more modern design and more customizable dashboards. The initial device onboarding also requires some planning in larger environments.
