Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's easy to use.""I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.""The most valuable feature is the breakdown that it provides, such as a description of the fields for a particular transaction.""The initial setup was straightforward and took minimal effort.""Because we have partnerships with other partners, I can share a bit about what I've noticed with IBM APM compared to other vendor solutions. Specifically, with IBM, the visibility into detailed process information is more tangible. On the OS level, APM displays all processes (or the top 10 processes) that are consuming CPU or resident memory. This is the most important thing that is not always available with other vendors.""IBM Application Performance Management helped us increased our response time by 80% and cost 60% less.""The transaction tracking feature from IBM is the most important feature for us. It is something that provides a terrific value for us and our clients. It has a lot of data sources and agents that are collectors. It is also stable."

"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 feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard.""ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly.""We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable.""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.""ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy.""The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."

Cons
"Its web user interface is a little bit old in comparison to other solutions, such as New Relic, and it should be improved. Its scalability and technical support should also be improved. Currently, it is scalable, but only in a vertical way. They provide good technical support, but the initial steps for a new case can be improved to fasten the resolution process.""They should focus on potentially enhancing the dashboard to make it more contemporary and adding some customization options. Furthermore, there might be room for improvement in the pricing policy.""Technical support can be slow and needs improvement.""It's still missing some platforms. For example, if you look to applications itself, it is missing the interface.""The demo that was provided to us is not working very well. At times, there are errors.""With APM, we noticed that the agent can cause a lot of issues for the application, making the agent very unreliable. Many issues are happening, and we've had to discuss it with support to try and get a fix. It affects application availability, and sometimes actions fail because of the agent, degrading the performance of the application.""The stability is not great and should be better."

More IBM Application Performance Management 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.""One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available.""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.""The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work.""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.""They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
