Distributed tracing has transformed our testing workflows and now uncovers hidden failures fast
The best features Lumigo offers include the live stream architecture and transaction mapping, which helps to automatically generate and update the visual execution topology for every single test transaction. After seeing the exact flow from the edge API through intermediate queues and containerized microservices down to managed storage, it gives our QA engineers instant context. Additionally, I love the request-response payload inspection feature, which captures input and output parameters, request headers, and invocation payload safely. When an automated integration test fails, the exact offending payload is visible right inside the trace, helping to save our QA and engineering teams a lot of time, leading to at least a 48.33% drop in wasted time previously spent finding the root cause. With automation saved, automated root cause correlation has helped to correlate logs, metrics, and trace spans across asynchronous boundaries, which is notoriously difficult to debug in event-driven AI pipelines. The live stream architecture and transaction mapping make such a difference for my team, as it generates updates regularly via visual execution and the topology for every single test transaction, providing us with a view through intermediate queues and microservices to managed storage, giving engineers instant context of transactions and payloads, which saves at least 49% of our time and allows overall resources to be used more effectively. Regarding Lumigo's AI capabilities, I find the governance of security to be really good, and we have seen a positive impact due to the AI capabilities alongside strict compliance regulations such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, proving it is compliant with applicable regulations and policies. Lumigo's accuracy is close to 100%, making it very reliable. Lumigo integrates seamlessly with other AWS services we use, and we have not faced any issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Any new member, whether from the development side or business team, finds the user-friendly UI easy to understand."
"Lumigo has positively impacted our organization with transformative ROI for our quality engineering and delivery cycles, where the meantime to defect and resolve due to debugging failed end-to-end integration test runs has dropped over 68.3%."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"I used it extensively for a year, and prior to that, I was very comfortable."
"If cost is your consideration and you have a well-rounded system administrator, this is a good product to explore."
"Applications Manager helps businesses ensure their revenue-critical applications meet end user expectations."
"Price is the big issue here in Pakistan and they offer a very good price."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"Depending on the size of the environment, this is a solution that I recommend."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think support needs to be improved."
"Technical support can be problematic. They usually support us from India, but because of compliance requirements, that is not an acceptable support solution in Pakistan."
"At the moment, we are not finding this solution to be very stable. We've had a lot of calls with the vendor to sort things out."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"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 inventory of assets needs improvement."
"I would say that the implementation of ManageEngine Applications Manager is too detailed. You need some training to effectually use it."
"More modem support for SMS feature."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."

"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."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
"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."
