We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function.""It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems.""It is easy to implement but requires good planning.""It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable.""Probe packages and probe deployment.""Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service.""What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server.""I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."

"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy.""ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan.""The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple.""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.""The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity.""We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."

Cons
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​""Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful.""A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer.""There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want.""I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there.""We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level.""We would like to see automatic network topology.""I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort.""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.""Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products.""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 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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
  • More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The cost of this solution is not too bad, although it could be cheaper considering what you're getting for the price."
  • "The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
  • "Its price is good."
  • "The annual licensing depends on the number of monitors you have connected. Once you get to two hundred monitors you can see the price reflect."
  • "ManageEngine Applications Manager has reasonable pricing. It's more affordable than other solutions in the market. My company has an instance-based license for ManageEngine Applications Manager. You can purchase a yearly subscription or a perpetual license. The standard license covers most features, but you can still have some paid add-ons."
  • "The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
  • "Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
