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 product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"The technical support is good."
"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 would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"It's pretty stable."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"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."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"The solution is very, very stable; we haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"We like the ability to drill down into the method level to identify where the real issue is, as other tools just show the slowness at the transaction level only."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
 

Cons

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The GUI could be improved."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"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."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"Yes, the custom dashboard. Making custom dashboards is really tedious. I wish there was just a drag and drop to slap things together quickly."
"Further integrations with other monitoring systems would be very helpful. I want to see it interacting more with the infrastructure, to get more statistics and details from our infrastructure environment and not only applications."
"We use the SaaS model. I wouldn't say I'm really, really comfortable with it yet."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"Support is off-shore and somewhat slow."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is based on the size of the deployment."
"We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."
"AppDynamics is one of the most expensive solutions on the market."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring does have licensing cost associated with it."
"The pricing is quite comparable to similar solutions in the market. All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage."
"Our purchasing experience through the AWS Marketplace has been pretty painless."
"There is an annual cost for the use of this solution."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
