We performed a comparison between Datadog and ManageEngine Applications Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most useful feature is the APM."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"The platform appeals to companies spanning many industries on a global scale."
"Going from viewing a metric to creating a monitor alerting on a metric is very easy."
"We have a better grasp of what is occurring during the deployment cycle. If something fails, we have an idea what has failed, where it has failed, and how it failed to better mitigate the situation."
"We have been able to set very specific CPU and memory alerts, at the very base level, then we started to pull real business value, like 99th percentile response rates for our API calls."
"It is great that creating an incident is possible from Slack while having all the relevant data in Datadog."
"Datadog is constantly adding new features."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"What I like most about ManageEngine Applications Manager is its price point, apart from its technicalities. The solution is cheaper than its competitors. ManageEngine Applications Manager has helpful documentation that makes setting it up straightforward."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Its price and the flexibility to deploy are the most valuable. Flexibility is very important, and you can scale from very basic to more complex. This solution is a part of a complete suite of management tools. So, it can be integrated with other solutions for monitoring networks, which is very important. You can expand it or interconnect it with many other tools, which is a powerful feature. We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys. They provide very good support for us."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"One area where I was really looking for improvement was the CSPM product line. I had really wanted to have team-level visibility for findings, since the team managing the resources has much more context and ability to resolve the issue, as the service owner. However, this has been added to the announcement in a recent keynote."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"Stability of the product has been a concern for us outside of the primary monitoring agents."
"Since the Datadog platform has so many separate features, solving so many use cases, there are often inconsistencies in feature availability and interoperability between products."
"I would like the tooling to have better integration in Slack, specifically sending out reminders to the relevant people to take breaks, do a retrospective, and specify with emojis which messages to log."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."
"The sheer amount of products that are included can be overwhelming."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"An area for improvement in ManageEngine Applications Manager is artificial intelligence. If AI is integrated into the solution, it'll be a piece of cake. Currently, it's all configured manually."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
