Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager offers centralized configuration management for routers, switches, and firewalls with automated backups, real-time change detection, and quick rollback options to reduce downtime. It supports multi-vendor devices, enables bulk configuration changes through automation, and provides compliance auditing with detailed reports for security and regulatory standards. Overall, it improves network reliability, security, and administrative efficiency.
  • Automated configuration backups — Helps regularly back up network device configurations and reduce the risk of configuration loss. Multi-vendor support — Works with a wide range of network devices from different vendors. Configuration change tracking — Makes it easier to identify who changed a configuration, what was changed, and when. Network automation — Automates repetitive configuration and administrative tasks, saving time for network teams. Compliance management — Helps organizations monitor configurations against predefined compliance policies. Configuration rollback — Allows administrators to restore previous configurations when changes cause problems. Centralized management — Provides a single platform for managing configurations across multiple network devices. Useful reporting — Offers reports and visibility that can help with troubleshooting, auditing, and compliance.
  • You will be able to patch your network devices, you can run different regulatory checks and compliance checks on your running configurations, and you can stay alerted to any minor or major known or unknown configuration changes on your network equipment. on top of that, it will enable you to take backups of your configurations and version comparisons configurations.
  • Automated Configuration Backups: It automatically backs up running-config and startup-config across all your switches, routers, and firewalls on a set schedule. If a device dies or gets misconfigured, you can restore the last known stable baseline in two clicks. Side-by-Side "Diff" Change Tracking: The moment someone logs into a core switch and changes a line of code, NCM captures the change and alerts you. It highlights exact additions and deletions side-by-side (green vs. red), making post-incident root-cause analysis extremely fast. Bulk Config Changes (Configures): Pushing a global change—like updating TACACS/RADIUS passwords, SNMP strings, or NTP server IPs across 200 switches—can be done simultaneously using template scripts (Configures) instead of manually SSH into every box.
  • Its very use full to have the clear information that what it's happening on the network and the Switch what load that is there on time to time we have great information that help us to know what is going on the network.

Cons

  • The TFTP/SCP transfer can be finicky on older hardware, often timing out during large backups. Also, the compliance reports are a bit rigid; trying to build custom regex rules is quite a headache.
  • Steep learning curve — New users may need time to understand the platform and configure it effectively. Interface can feel complex — The large number of features and settings can make navigation less intuitive for beginners. Initial setup requires effort — Deploying the solution and configuring devices, credentials, and automation workflows can take time. Resource requirements — Larger environments may require careful planning of server resources and database configuration. Advanced features may require additional configuration — Getting the most out of automation, compliance, and workflow capabilities can require technical expertise. Pricing can become significant — Costs may increase as the number of managed devices and required capabilities grows. Some customization can be complicated — Organizations with highly specific network-management requirements may need additional configuration or scripting.
  • The only con of having this tool is it will make your network engineer's life easy. You will not get a chance to tell them that you are not doing your work properly or according to regulatory requirements.
  • Alert Noise: Out of the box, syslog and change notifications can flood your inbox. You have to spend time fine-tuning alert filters so you aren't spammed every time an automated system script runs on a router. Database & Performance Overhead in Very Large Environments: If you are backing up thousands of devices frequently, the local database (especially if using bundled PostgreSQL) can grow massive quickly, causing occasional dashboard sluggishness unless properly tuned on dedicated hardware.
  • I don't have any Cons as of now. one thing the price of the application is bit high.

  • - Tool has great features - Easy to use - Great service from Unimus team - Core features are reliable
  • Unimus is so easy to install and configure. I add all my network devices to the console, and it backs them up every night without fail. Pretty much set it up and let it work. Cannot be beat for the cost and ease of use.
  • Easy to use - Easy to use Interface Reliable backups - Works well and keeps your settings safe Scalable - Works fine for a few devices or hundreds. Affordable - Great value for the price.
  • We love how lightweight it is, but yet feature packed. We're backing up all of our devices to Unimus and then doing another versioned backup to Github. Setup is easy, assigning of roles to users is simple. The search function is one of the primary reasons we chose Unimus, it's so easy to search across all your devices when looking for certain configs etc. Their support has been fantastic, along with adding in new and requested features very quickly. The cost is WELL worth it. Very happy we adopted it and have not looked back.
  • Great software, lots of features and does the required job very well. It is a must have for all network operators. Great time saver when the unexpected happens, and also a great time saver for making bulk changes.
  • Unimus is an excellent network backup and configuration management tool that's simple to deploy and works right out of the box. With agentless operation and support for a wide range of vendors (Cisco, MikroTik, Juniper, Ubiquiti, and more), it’s ideal for managing diverse networks. The interface is clean and intuitive, and features like automatic backups, configuration versioning, and change tracking make it incredibly useful for maintaining network stability and recovering from issues. Security features like encrypted credential storage and access controls help meet compliance needs. Unimus is lightweight, fast, and backed by excellent support. Whether you're a small IT team or managing a large infrastructure, it’s a smart, reliable choice.
  • We've been using Unimus for several years now in large corporate networks with multiple vendor equipment - this is where Unimus truly shines. Whether managing networks with 5 different devices or scaling up to 50+ devices, the peace of mind Unimus brings is invaluable. The automated daily backups have transformed our operations. No more config files scattered across shared drives or outdated documentation. Everything is centralized, versioned, and instantly accessible. What really sets Unimus apart is its seamless integration with our change management process. The "backup before change" workflow is brilliant - one API call in our rollout scripts ensures we always have a reliable rollback option. And let's be honest, not everything goes right on the first try, so having that safety net is crucial. The time savings are substantial - we're talking hours per month depending on change frequency. But it's not just about time; it's about reliability and consistency. One unexpected benefit: Unimus has become a cornerstone of our NetBox automation. Through API integration between Unimus and NetBox, we maintain real-time network documentation. No more outdated Visio diagrams - just accurate, live network state.
