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…

A very flexible open box that can be used vastly to do anything you need
Make sure that you have dedicated manpower to configure and manage the solution. It requires handling, not necessarily on a daily basis, but it definitely requires someone who is focused and has expertise with the solution. Know in advance what you want to gain from the solution. Don't jump in to configuring or deploying before knowing what you expect from it. I like the solution very much. I think it is a major tool, especially in advanced environments. The open box provides a lot of flexibility and gives a very holistic view of the entire Kubernetes environment. Integrating with the Rancher management tool gives the solution even more abilities. There are several tools that we use behind the scenes to ease the process but the solution on its own is a very good tool. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The anomaly detection feature helps with maintaining the system's health. It is regarding our IT incident center."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"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 most valuable feature of Prometheus is its ability to collect metrics."
"The solution can be deployed in thirty minutes."
"The product’s scalability is valuable."
"It is highly valuable as it serves as the foundation for our infrastructure monitoring tools."
"Prometheus gives us high availability automatically."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is that we can receive information in different formats."
"The good thing is it integrates well with the Grafana dashboard. It comes with a UI where you see everything as a graph."
 

Cons

"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 problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"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 inventory of assets needs improvement."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"The integration process with third party tools poses some challenges; enhancing the robustness of these integrations could greatly improve overall functionality and user experience."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"Setting up the rules in Prometheus can be confusing, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"There is a need for a more comprehensive overview of exporters, especially when dealing with many of them."
"Prometheus can be initially difficult for users since it has its query language, PromQL. The minimalistic interface is complicated to understand. They need to improve their interface so that users who don't know PromQL can also use it. You can only leverage the tool when you know PromQL."
"If you want to collect details of metrics, you should be able to write a query for it directly. I want the product to offer better queries for the metrics."
"The setup process could be more straightforward."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"The simplicity of the query language could be improved. The current query language is not easy to work with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is noted for its cost-effectiveness, a crucial consideration for potential users."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
