End-to-end monitoring has improved user experience and now supports comprehensive observability
The most valuable features of eG Enterprise depend on the application, so that's pretty vast, but they definitely include end-to-end application and infrastructure monitoring. User satisfaction with eG Enterprise is really the key component now, so if you go to VDI or RDH, any of those platforms, you get the total end-to-end user experience because they do have endpoint monitoring now as well, and that was the feature that was lacking before.

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…

"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."

"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."

Cons

"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"The integration must be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"One thing that I don't like about eG is like the interface. It's not really that user-friendly to make a change, or to navigate through."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data."
"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."
"It can’t be configured to store APM Insight data for more than one month."
"At the moment, we are not finding this solution to be very stable. We've had a lot of calls with the vendor to sort things out."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"My suggestion for improving this feature is to also monitor the end-user experience for application clients and servers."
