Cons
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort.""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.""Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics.""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 agent often crashes when there is too much load on the application side.

That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products.""AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market.""The solution should be more user-friendly.""The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
