Summary

ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager handles configuration and change workflows for switches, routers, firewalls, and other network devices. It schedules configuration backups, tracks changes in real time, and supports comparing versions and rolling back to trusted configurations. Configlets and scripts can automate tasks and apply changes to devices in bulk. The product checks configurations against defined standards and policies, supports compliance reporting, and identifies firmware vulnerabilities with CVE IDs, severity information, and patch links. The product page says it supports devices from more than 200 vendors and encrypts retrieved configuration data using AES 256-bit encryption. This on-premises product has Windows and Linux installers, plus Android and iOS apps for viewing backups, changes, vulnerabilities, compliance, and user activity. Its Free Edition covers two devices. Professional is 238.00 USD per year for a 10-device pack, and Enterprise is 3358.00 USD per year for a 250-device pack. Both paid editions list 24x5 technical support.
