Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is simple to use."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
 

Cons

"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"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."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data. AppDynamics has more powerful tools for post-processing or analytics. It has some limitations in more complex environments, but because we are free to use different solutions, we try to find what is best for the customers or the problem we are trying to solve."
"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 integration process with third party tools poses some challenges; enhancing the robustness of these integrations could greatly improve overall functionality and user experience."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"The product is very cheap."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"It is not expensive."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"The solution is noted for its cost-effectiveness, a crucial consideration for potential users."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Its price is good."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
"The cost of this solution is not too bad, although it could be cheaper considering what you're getting for the price."
"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."
