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 monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"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."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"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."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"When it comes to end-user monitoring (where you want to capture or trend back business transactions, or where you want to really view the performance of the tools), it's not just good in terms of managing your production system, but some of the developers use it to tackle performance issues and get ahead."
"The best feature of about Splunk AppDynamics is its interface, which allows me to see the full transaction, exactly what is happening, from where it starts to where the call is going, all the services involved in a call, and exactly the time it took from each node to each node along with the network delays."
"Quicker turnaround on finding/resolving issues or improving performance, which leads to improved client experiences."
"We previously had an operations team continuously monitoring applications. Now, they just have set things up and our developers can monitor, view, and act on them, accordingly."
"This tool is helping us get our application free of bugs and performance issues."
"It has been stable, scalable and manageable."
"It improves production troubleshooting, it improves pre-production performance testing and it improves our development quality, because they can find and troubleshoot performance and quality issues prior to testing."
 

Cons

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"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."
"It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."
"The alerts and proactive monitoring need work; I have found it very cumbersome to set up meaningful rules, which has led us to use the tool as a reactive tool instead of a proactive tool."
"Transactions are not collected across the board."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"Customer support from Splunk AppDynamics is fair but requires enhancements in ticket resolution times."
"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."
"When you add this all up, the price is not appealing."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
