Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"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."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The tool helps to monitor Windows servers. It offers alerts from a central location."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"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."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data. AppDynamics has more powerful tools for post-processing or analytics. It has some limitations in more complex environments, but because we are free to use different solutions, we try to find what is best for the customers or the problem we are trying to solve."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"The agent often crashes when there is too much load on the application side. If a sudden storm of data comes in, the agent crashes down most of the time."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
