Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"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 could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"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."
"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."
"The price could be improved."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
