"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data. AppDynamics has more powerful tools for post-processing or analytics.

"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"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."
"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 problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"Prometheus can be initially difficult for users since it has its query language, PromQL. The minimalistic interface is complicated to understand. They need to improve their interface so that users who don't know PromQL can also use it. You can only leverage the tool when you know PromQL."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"Prometheus' UI color can improve. Using the Prometheus UI for configuration or analyzing queries is a horrible experience."
"The setup process could be more straightforward."
"If you are not quite technical, it can be pretty hard to understand the way it works and how to query data in Prometheus."
"Lacks the ability to clusterize."
"They could provide efficient logs in terms of clarity and ease of access similar to Datadog’s paid version."
"The primary area where Prometheus could be improved is in terms of pricing, particularly when used with managed services."
