Managing application health has become simpler but new monitoring features still need faster delivery
I use application discovery and dependency mapping. It helps with managing application health What I like about ManageEngine Applications Manager is the ease of use and ease of deployment. I cannot remember anything specific for future updates of the product. The new features take a lot of time…

Real-time alerts have reduced server outage impact and support fast incident response
In the dashboard, if they could show a little more metrics regarding the application and related things, that would be how New Relic could be improved. Currently, there are things showing from the server level and application level, but it can be improved. That is what I felt. Regarding user interface, I do not feel much concern, but for some kind of issues when we are trying to get support from the New Relic team, their SLA seems to be long. They are taking seven to ten working days for resolving some kind of scenario or issue. That is a bit difficult for us. If they could improve the customer support by reducing their SLA within three to five days, if they could remediate everything, that will be so much helpful. When it comes to the customer support part, I felt they need to be a little more improved on that part. The support overall is good, but they can improve. That is the reason I have given it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys, and they provide very good support for us."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"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 anomaly detection feature helps with maintaining the system's health. It is regarding our IT incident center."
"I used it extensively for a year, and prior to that, I was very comfortable."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"What I like best about New Relic APM is its user interface because it's simple. The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is end-to-end monitoring."
"It's industry-leading, the most responsive full suite of tools that I’ve used."
"I can have my developers find bugs and fix them in one-tenth of time they used to take."
"The most valuable feature is the transparency into how applications are running."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to execute queries and analyze the data."
"Real-time error monitoring means I can drill down and see what’s happening."
"As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things."
"In my opinion, New Relic is a good tool, and if a colleague was asking my opinion, I would say "Go ahead and use it!" It is a good solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The inventory of assets needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"The integration process with third party tools poses some challenges; enhancing the robustness of these integrations could greatly improve overall functionality and user experience."
"More modem support for SMS feature."
"Mobile APP's Performance Monitoring."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
"The ROI is not crystal clear but can be found in preventing performance issues in production and a better/shorter troubleshoot possibility when suffering performance- and/or scalability/Availability issues on a production system."
"The docs in API and dashboards seem to be a little behind and overly verbose, I don’t want to have to jump back and forth."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"The browser isn't exactly reliable."
"It doesn't give us rich process tracing, which is the only complaint I have."
"There is no proper management of roles and divisions; if I develop a dashboard for myself, everyone else has access to it, and you just add someone to the platform and he gets access to all the dashboards."

"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 detection piece of it brings us a big return on investment."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
