We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Applications Manager and Prometheus 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."ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"The most valuable feature of Prometheus is its ability to collect metrics."
"The most valuable feature is that we can receive information in different formats."
"It lets me proactively identify and resolve system issues. This, in terms of, most of the time, really reduces downtime. Because when there are notifications on time when we engage it quickly on time, our downtime is highly reduced. So basically, Prometheus is for monitoring and alerting."
"The dashboard is very valuable."
"The solution helps us to scale our products and services, and it helps me by gathering those metrics."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"The solution is useful to collect huge metrics."
"The feature I found most valuable is the number of integrations. It is the industry standard for metrics."
"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."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"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."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"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 setup could be made easier for new users because it requires a bit of advance knowledge or experience."
"The query language in Prometheus is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"A slight alteration to the user interface should be made to increase efficiency and streamline the process. Currently, we are utilizing Prometheus to gather and compile metrics and then utilizing Grafana to display them in the form of a graph. However, I believe that Prometheus has the capability to handle both of these tasks on its own, with perhaps the addition of a supplementary plugin. By doing so, the need for utilizing two separate applications will be eliminated."
"The setup process could be more straightforward."
"The primary area where Prometheus could be improved is in terms of pricing, particularly when used with managed services."
"One potential area for improvement would be fixing the occasional glitches and bugs."
"Prometheus requires improvement on the query side."
