"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"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.

They provide very good support for us."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."

"AppDynamics is a solution that requires extra learning and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, automated reports would helpful similar to have they have in Google Analytics."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"This solution is expensive."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"The agent often crashes when there is too much load on the application side. If a sudden storm of data comes in, the agent crashes down most of the time."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"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."
