Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"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."
"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."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"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."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"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 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."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
