We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes.""We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable.""The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."

"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring.""The most useful feature of this solution is tracking. When the application's traffic has been monitored it is taken from that particular application and analyzed. It is then given a live session of that particular user. For example, if you are using your bank application to do some kind of transaction, everything that you do can be tracked by that application.""The Real User Monitor, with its transaction and synthetic transaction monitoring, is the typical classic in APM cases when the customer would like to do transaction monitoring. Micro Focus scores better where the underlying infrastructure management is also covered by Micro Focus tools.""The reporting feature is good for us.""The technical support is good at resolving issues.""Real User Monitor has improved our productivity.""Very easy to implement."

Cons
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort.""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.""The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide.""Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products.""One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available.""The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work.""I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."

More ManageEngine Applications Manager Cons →

"We would like to see support for non-Windows environments.""Real User Monitor needs to cover more protocols to provide more in-depth information. It could also be better at monitoring voice-related traffic. There is currently no visibility in that channel.""Some issues with login errors.""When we want to monitor our encrypted traffic, this product doesn't work because our cipher is not supported.""One area to improve is the user interface, of course. The second one is their R&D has virtually stopped building a product roadmap.""Everybody is moving away from traffic and installing agents on the application to do the job, but Micro Focus is using traditional ways to collect the traffic. They should change their architecture completely.""This technology is considered to be older."
