Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The technical support is good."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"Business transaction tracing: It is very good in usability and tool navigation."
"It works great for doing what you need, when you want to track response times and error rates; and especially being able to dig down to individual transactions and see the actual call methods."
"Now, it's a matter of minutes and a couple of people to isolate, do a root-cause analysis and quickly solve the problem."
"The possibility to quickly drill down into problematic requests in combination with the drill down into all kinds of different monitoring data greatly reduced the time to analyze problems which we uncover during our load tests."
"The key benefits it offers us are that it helps us know the infrastructure and performance issues, as well as if a customer is experiencing latency issues, ahead of time so we can act on them proactively and improve the customer experience."
"We already have examples of an 89% reduction in MTTR for one application and a multitude of examples of money saved in others, including savings of around $150,000 for one particular issue that we were almost set to throw more hardware and software at."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"We have analyzed so many of our APIs and web services; it showed how much data and how many times each and every API and web service is used, and if we can save on those costs and enhance the performance, that's priceless."
 

Cons

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The GUI could be improved."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use."
"I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries."
"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"If you design a very big business application, visibility will suffer due to a large number of tiers and transactions."
"AppDynamics should add more features to identify in case if there is some thread waiting for something."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature."
"It is a more expensive APM among the competitors, which is fine because it also does a lot more on the auto-detection and the AI side... It is not a cheap product. None of them are. The price is fair, but I could use it on more projects if they had a lower price."
"The pricing is quite comparable to similar solutions in the market. All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage."
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."
"Yearly payments have to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution. The solution has no additional costs apart from the licensing costs."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for AppDynamics?
