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 technical support is good."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"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."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"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 primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"I think Splunk AppDynamics' data collection feature with agents or OpenTelemetry is perfect because it is installed dynamically on all servers and nodes, and all agents respond quickly to the server or master station where Splunk AppDynamics is installed, providing great insights into hardware and software discovery."
"We have cut our MTTR by half just by deploying agents."
"It has become a very integrated tool in our company, to share with developers, as well, some of the information that AppDynamics APM is showing us."
"Splunk AppDynamics is useful for helping my clients improve business resilience."
"Splunk AppDynamics significantly aids us because as soon as we identify a problem, we immediately receive API call insights through the AI version currently in use, suggesting resolution pathways and options such as restarting the server or application."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the response time from the end-to-end server."
 

Cons

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The GUI could be improved."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"This is an expensive solution."
"For me, the single largest area with room for improvement that I've been requesting the AppDynamics team to deliver for us is APM support for Ruby on Rails and for HHPM."
"By default, AppDynamics tends to only capture a lot of the high-level stuff, and you can actually go in and manually configure a lot of the lower level stuff manually."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"Charting is cumbersome; inability to do decimal fraction arithmetic in expressions (for alerts), so everything has to be done in % rather than as natural fractions."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric analytics side, but this process is a little bit manual."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"Yearly payments have to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution. The solution has no additional costs apart from the licensing costs."
"Our purchasing experience through the AWS Marketplace has been pretty painless."
"The solution is highly expensive"
"It is a more expensive APM among the competitors, which is fine because it also does a lot more on the auto-detection and the AI side... It is not a cheap product. None of them are. The price is fair, but I could use it on more projects if they had a lower price."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"The solution has a high cost."
"Because it is priced per JVM, the price can increase pretty fast, into the millions. We have had challenges because we had to justify the price to our clients, as well, when we are putting in certain tools."
