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

  • 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 Firmware Vulnerability Management: Built-in vulnerability scanning detects outdated firmware and security risks, enabling proactive remediation.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.
  • As an IT Infrastructure Engineer, I work across servers, networking, and system administration, so having visibility into network configurations is essential. ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager has helped us reduce manual work by automating configuration backups and providing a reliable way to track changes across our network devices. I also appreciate the scheduled backups and rollback functionality. During a recent maintenance activity, a firewall configuration update caused unexpected connectivity issues. Since the previous configuration had already been backed up automatically, restoring the working version took only a few minutes. That significantly reduced downtime for our users.
  • It is a monitoring application where we can monitor all the network devices and Server. We can also monitor bandwidth Interface monitoring , SPM , NCM

Cons

  • 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.
  • If I could improve one thing, it would be the user interface. While it is functional, it feels a little dated, and some advanced settings require a bit of exploration before they're easy to use. The initial setup also takes some planning in larger environments.
  • UI interface is very slow need to improve. Also Need to improve on the NCM feature because seems device is up and accessible with SSH credential even back is not happening.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • #1- Best solutions for digitally dependent businesses. #2- It makes control and security automated and more secure. #3- It automatically takes action in case of any vulnerability.
  • I love that I can see my entire infrastructure and what issues it may have. This is a game changer for. Salt is at it base, an event engine, and that makes the entire system that more amazing

Cons

  • #1- We had an overall positive experience with it.
  • It's sometimes comlicated, but I feel that it's still growing up.
