Anomaly detection maintains the system's health and good for monitoring
The primary use case is for services and incident management.   The anomaly detection feature helps with maintaining the system's health. It is regarding our IT incident center.  ManageEngine is for incident management and monitoring.  The inventory of assets needs improvement. The asset…

Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"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."
"The Service Level Management (SLM) rules engine stands out due to its flexibility and customization capabilities, making it an invaluable tool for tailoring processes to our specific needs."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times."
"New Relic is suitable for banking domains, investment brokerage products, or anything related to high-security data, and it works as a whole monitoring solution, including logging, monitoring, and application profiling tools."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The feature I found most valuable is being able to design my queries. It's easy to design a query."
"It offers helpful user metrics so we can learn more about the user experience."
"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."
"It has a simple initial setup."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in ManageEngine Applications Manager is artificial intelligence. If AI is integrated into the solution, it'll be a piece of cake. Currently, it's all configured manually."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"The inventory of assets needs improvement."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"New Relic can be improved by incorporating an automated incident analysis solution."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Its price is good."
"The solution is noted for its cost-effectiveness, a crucial consideration for potential users."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"Comparatively, the pricing is expensive."
"The pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"If I remember it correctly, the pricing was based on the core, and the monthly subscription used to cost us $1,500 or $2,000. We had pre-prod and production services. Costing was different for pre-prod and production. For pre-prod, it was 40% less than the production service cost. It was a combined package."
"This is an expensive product."
"The solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
