Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive
Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

Anomaly detection maintains the system's health and good for monitoring
The primary use case is for services and incident management.   The anomaly detection feature helps with maintaining the system's health. It is regarding our IT incident center.  ManageEngine is for incident management and monitoring.  The inventory of assets needs improvement. The asset…

Pros

"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."
"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."
"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."
"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."
"The remote support and data collection features are great."
"We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud."
"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"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 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."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."
"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."
"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."
"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."
"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."
"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"The inventory of assets needs improvement."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
"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 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."
"The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution is noted for its cost-effectiveness, a crucial consideration for potential users."
"The cost of this solution is not too bad, although it could be cheaper considering what you're getting for the price."
