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…

Real-time alerts have reduced server outage impact and support fast incident response
In the dashboard, if they could show a little more metrics regarding the application and related things, that would be how New Relic could be improved. Currently, there are things showing from the server level and application level, but it can be improved. That is what I felt. Regarding user interface, I do not feel much concern, but for some kind of issues when we are trying to get support from the New Relic team, their SLA seems to be long. They are taking seven to ten working days for resolving some kind of scenario or issue. That is a bit difficult for us. If they could improve the customer support by reducing their SLA within three to five days, if they could remediate everything, that will be so much helpful. When it comes to the customer support part, I felt they need to be a little more improved on that part. The support overall is good, but they can improve. That is the reason I have given it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"Applications Manager helps businesses ensure their revenue-critical applications meet end user expectations."
"The features on the dashboard of ManageEngine Application Manager are much better than these other solutions, and I found that those solutions can be quite costly in comparison."
"For a small organization, I think ManageEngine is pretty nice, I think it's enough."
"If cost is your consideration and you have a well-rounded system administrator, this is a good product to explore."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"We have a standard visibility process for any application that rolls out, and it gives us the ability to train our people and provide a more responsive application."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"We have had a good experience with it so far and I would recommend the solution to other organizations."
"Both developers and operations people can look at the same data, and that’s a great benefit."
"New Relic is highly scalable and its build quality is very easy for handling to startup, enterprise, scale up, and workloads."
"One of the most outstanding features of any APM tool is the anomaly detection part."
"NewRelic provides a one-stop shop monitoring solution for organizations that are looking for 360 degree monitoring solution: Application, Infrastructure, Network, Database, Enduser monitoring, Mobile everything under one roof."
"New Relic has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to catch failures so I can resolve them quickly and take action."
 

Cons

"Technical support can be problematic. They usually support us from India, but because of compliance requirements, that is not an acceptable support solution in Pakistan."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"The main issue with ManageEngine is that it only functions as a record-keeping system, it has never had an IT framework in place."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data."
"The integration process with third party tools poses some challenges; enhancing the robustness of these integrations could greatly improve overall functionality and user experience."
"It can’t be configured to store APM Insight data for more than one month."
"A lot of the features for application monitoring and uptime, and alerts for alerting the appropriate people when something goes wrong are not quite there yet."
"There is no proper management of roles and divisions; if I develop a dashboard for myself, everyone else has access to it, and you just add someone to the platform and he gets access to all the dashboards."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"The agents are updated quite frequently, but New Relic doesn't offer tools for doing the upgrade in large environments."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"More instruments with .NET and asynchronous calls, and New Relic says it’s on the way."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is noted for its cost-effectiveness, a crucial consideration for potential users."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Its price is good."
"The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
"The pricing is fine."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one means cheap, and ten means very expensive."
"The price was one of the reasons we chose this solution."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
