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…

Improves security posture by actively reducing critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation
Snyk's main features include open-source vulnerability scanning, code security, container security, infrastructure as code security, risk-based prioritization, development-first integration, continuous monitoring and alerting, automation, and remediation. The best features I appreciate are the vulnerability checking, vulnerability scanning, and code security capabilities, as Snyk scans all open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and helps with license compliance for open-source components. Snyk integrates into IDEs, allowing issues to be caught as they appear in the code dynamically and prioritizes risk while providing remediation advice. Snyk provides actionable remediation advice on where vulnerabilities can exist and where code security is compromised, automatically scanning everything and providing timely alerts. Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients. Snyk has helped reduce vulnerabilities significantly. Initially, the repository had 17 to 31 critical and high vulnerabilities, but Snyk has helped manage them down to just five vulnerabilities, which are now lower and not high or critical.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"The Service Level Management (SLM) rules engine stands out due to its flexibility and customization capabilities, making it an invaluable tool for tailoring processes to our specific needs."
"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"Depending on the size of the environment, this is a solution that I recommend."
"What I like most about ManageEngine Applications Manager is its price point, apart from its technicalities. The solution is cheaper than its competitors. ManageEngine Applications Manager has helpful documentation that makes setting it up straightforward."
"We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys, and they provide very good support for us."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"What I like about ManageEngine Applications Manager is the ease of use and ease of deployment."
"The solution is very easy to install, provides clear information that is easy to follow, and we get good feedback regarding code practices and how to fix security issues."
"Snyk's ability to scan all of those every time we build, and keep a running status of them and recheck them daily, is extremely valuable for making us aware of what's going on."
"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the SBOM."
"The fact that it provides visibility, compliance-related visibility, that is not readily available by cloud suppliers themselves, is its most valuable aspect."
"Snyk helps me pinpoint security errors in my code."
"It is one of the best product out there to help developers find and fix vulnerabilities quickly."
"From a compliance and visibility reporting perspective, the fact that it can be applicable for multi-cloud environments is very helpful."
"The code scans on the source code itself were valuable."
 

Cons

"I would say that the implementation of ManageEngine Applications Manager is too detailed. You need some training to effectually use it."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"It can’t be configured to store APM Insight data for more than one month."
"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."
"More modem support for SMS feature."
"I assess the impact of real-user monitoring of this product on my application's performance as not good. I am not satisfied with monitoring."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"Fugue capabilities are not well understood on the market."
"Offering API access in the lower or free open-source tiers would be better. That would help our customers. If you don't have an enterprise plan, it becomes challenging to integrate with the rest of the systems. Our customers would like to have some open-source integrations in the next release."
"We tried to integrate it into our software development environment but it went really badly. It took a lot of time and prevented the developers from using the IDE. Eventually, we didn't use it in the development area... I would like to see better integrations to help the developers get along better with the tool. And the plugin for the IDE is not so good. This is something we would like to have..."
"Right now, we receive too many high vulnerabilities. If we enable notifications, then we just get a lot of spam message."
"We have to integrate with their database, which means we need to send our entire code to them to scan, and they send us the report. A company working in the financial domain usually won't like to share its code or any information outside its network with any third-party provider."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry. They have a pretty good knowledge base, but Veracode is on top because Veracode has been in this business for a pretty long time. They do have a pretty large database of all the findings, and the way that the correlation engine works is superb. Snyk is also pretty good, but it is not as good as Veracode in terms of maintaining a large space of all the historical data of vulnerabilities."
"We had some issues integrating into our pipeline, however, they were resolved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"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 annual licensing depends on the number of monitors you have connected. Once you get to two hundred monitors you can see the price reflect."
"The solution is noted for its cost-effectiveness, a crucial consideration for potential users."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
"Its price is good."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"
"The product has good pricing."
"For what Snyk offers, it has the best cost-benefit I have ever seen because you're buying the license per user."
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
"Presently, my company uses an open-source version of the solution. The solution's pricing can be considered quite reasonable owing to the features they offer."
"With Snyk, you get what you pay for. It is not a cheap solution, but you get a comprehensiveness and level of coverage that is very good. The dollars in the security budget only go so far. If I can maximize my value and be able to have some funds left over for other initiatives, I want to do that. That is what drives me to continue to say, "What's out there in the market? Snyk's expensive, but it's good. Is there something as good, but more affordable?" Ultimately, I find we could go cheaper, but we would lose the completeness of vision or scope. I am not willing to do that because Snyk does provide a pretty important benefit for us."
"The solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
