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

"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."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The technical support is good."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"In the case of a mobile banking application, AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring successfully reduced the response time from eight seconds to just one second. In another example, the tool identified an issue within the mobile app, causing lost transactions in the billing system."
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"One of the most valuable features has been the ease of use that really fuels adoption in our organization."
"Overall, it is a very strong product, with most of the features that we need, and other than some usability improvements, I think it is a very great product."
"We were previously using Dynatrace, then we shifted to AppDynamics because it was more convenient."
"We just started using it so it is a little too early to tell but we have already seen how APM finds the issues with the different applications, which is very important for us."
"AppDynamics is stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The GUI could be improved."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."
"We have hundreds of services and multiple shared health rules for alerting for each of them, AppD has no easy way to pull up all the health rules for a particular service to send off the each app owner to validate alerting thresholds."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial."
"I install it frequently and sometimes when they fix something they break something else, so better QA is needed to ensure the quality of their fixes."
"I’d like to see something more towards a merger between the dev and the production."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive."
"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
"It would be better if there were more solutions incorporated into the base price. ​"
"It could be cheaper. It's a little cost prohibitive. There are so many features that also show a lot of value, but it’s not always easy to justify the cost."
"Our purchasing experience through the AWS Marketplace has been pretty painless."
"This price of this product is expensive."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring requires a license for database monitoring and other features, while Dynatrace provides monitoring and other features out of the box without additional costs. Sometimes this makes it more challenging to pitch AppDynamics Database Monitoring to customers, especially because you need to buy a separate license. As an implementer, I have yet to learn about the pricing for AppDynamics Database Monitoring. Pricing is taken care of by the sales team."
