We performed a comparison between Dynatrace 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."If you look in the APM sector, it is a very nice package to install."
"I have never been more confident in a tool's scalability because I've seen how easy it is for it to deal with the .NET Applets."
"Adds value to application owners, DB owners, and provides visibility on how end users utilize browsers and where they are originate from."
"From the monitoring perspective, the ability to triage quickly is important, and the ability to alert and tell people where the problem is."
"Scalability is great. My biggest concern when we first put it in was the resources that it would take up, network traffic that it might create. But it seems perfectly scalable to any environment. Even on some of our heaviest use servers, it doesn't seem to affect anything."
"It is a platform that is very well-suited for marketers, but also for technology people. That is the key: the dashboard."
"The Davis artificial intelligence built-in program is valuable. It keeps all the information about the systems, connections, service calls, and requests in its database. It looks at response times and keeps everything in check with baseline figures. If anything goes outside of that baseline, it reports based on that. If the performance starts degrading, it reports on that. Before something breaks, it tells you that it is going to break, and that's the most useful feature of Dynatrace."
"The stuff that's coming with the new pieces around the Dynatrace Managed SaaS implementation. The ease of implementation there is significant. We've spent a lot of time with AppMon and DC RUM - that's a lot of time to set up, configure. With Managed solution, you just drop it in and everything pretty much auto-instruments."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"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 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 most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"The integration of the tools is getting there. It is still not there yet, because we still have to get a lot of tools to put together."
"Make sure older frameworks, like PHP 5.3, are supported."
"They need to develop how to capture the JDBC and MBeans metrics."
"One piece that we think that's missing is, there were thread names that were missing in analytical information in the Dynatrace solution, versus the AppMon solution. The AppMon solution gives you that information, and it is very helpful for connecting dots and bringing all the pieces together."
"We are happy with the server monitoring, but we feel like the application monitoring should be improved."
"Network monitoring is lacking and could be improved."
"Mainly navigation needs improvement. It is easier to follow a flow. Following the flow of the admin now is not easy."
"It is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace)."
"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."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"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."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
