Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"UEM helps to identify user experience and detailed steps performed by the user.""The user interface is like a type of dashboard. You can use the tool as an end user into the tool interface, which is good.""I think with Dynatrace, it has helped to bring value to the business because now we can speak using the same language.""The benefit for our company is that we have one direction and one main solution.""On the Managed side tech support has been pretty good. Stuff gets turned around pretty quickly. With them being able to do the remote management from the back-end, they are able to fix stuff up if they need to.""This monitoring capability gives us the ability to measure the end-user experience.""We were able to decrease the number of production defects ever since we started using Dynatrace in our test environment.""The agent deployment is the most valuable. You don't need to do any configuration. You just deploy the agents, and it can automatically detect your infrastructure. That was the greatest feature that we saw in Dynatrace. If there is any database, it can detect it automatically and present everything to you."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes.""ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple.""The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity.""The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard.""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.""ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan.""ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."

Cons
"The licensing part is complicated or not transparent. It is very difficult to assess the number of licenses for a prospect. You have to do a PoC, and calculating the number of licenses for two years or three years is sometimes very difficult. It also depends on each case. There are multiple types of licenses. Sometimes, you need only one of them, and sometimes, you need all of them. This is an area for improvement.""This solution needs more powerful database monitoring capabilities.""Some technical architectures are based on an event mechanism operating via a publish/subscribe system. APM technology sometimes reaches its limits to go upstream.""Searches should be faster.""There is still a certain amount of technical skills needed to be able to understand what you are seeing on it. You also need a large amount of technical or infrastructure skills to understand how and where to install it.""More integrations could prove very beneficial to us.""C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming.""It was difficult to initially use the solution, how to use it and where to navigate."

More Dynatrace Cons →

"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.""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.""The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work.""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.""Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products.""They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things.""I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."
  • More Dynatrace Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The cost of this solution is not too bad, although it could be cheaper considering what you're getting for the price."
  • "The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
  • "Its price is good."
  • "The annual licensing depends on the number of monitors you have connected. Once you get to two hundred monitors you can see the price reflect."
  • "ManageEngine Applications Manager has reasonable pricing. It's more affordable than other solutions in the market. My company has an instance-based license for ManageEngine Applications Manager. You can purchase a yearly subscription or a perpetual license. The standard license covers most features, but you can still have some paid add-ons."
