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 dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"For a small organization, I think ManageEngine is pretty nice, I think it's enough."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"What I like most about ManageEngine Applications Manager is its price point, apart from its technicalities. The solution is cheaper than its competitors. ManageEngine Applications Manager has helpful documentation that makes setting it up straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Customer service is great; always responsive, within minutes at times."
"The dashboards are the real value add for this product in my opinion and enhance customer experience if done properly."
"Excellent customer support from Cerner."
"The multi-tenancy that's available through this is one of the most valuable things."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"With the monitoring capabilities, I can tell when things happen and be proactive about them instead of constantly putting out fires."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"The fully-extensible event handling has enabled us to reduce on-call incidents by more than 90%."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"I assess the impact of real-user monitoring of this product on my application's performance as not good. I am not satisfied with monitoring."
"I would say that the implementation of ManageEngine Applications Manager is too detailed. You need some training to effectually use it."
"The inventory of assets needs improvement."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data."
"My suggestion for improving this feature is to also monitor the end-user experience for application clients and servers."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"We have had some stability issues, but that is largely because we're using an unsupported database."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"There is one feature that I've been requesting for a while now. Going back to this multi-tenancy thing, right now the tenants can't create their own service checks, so that's still a process they have to get with us."
"It can be a little bit flaky with the agent on VMware."
"The graphing feature needs work, although it has been rewritten in release 5.0 and we have yet to deploy it."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"SNMP traps management to be improved."
