ManageEngine Applications Manager

What do you like best?

It is good at Web App Monitoring, multi-cloud visibility, a transaction with database monitoring. Recent add-ons such as container monitoring, advanced analytics lead to better infrastructure and application insights.

What do you dislike?

I have run into scalability issues with large enterprise deployment, though it says it can perform comprehensive monitoring in large-scale environments. It cannot perform cost management or workflow approval and management. The supply monitoring functionality is not available and neither is demand monitoring. Other products like LogicMonitor can perform a better job at this as compared to ManageEngine's Applications Manager.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It would be best to explore its potential competitors like LogicMonitor. Ultimately, it would depend on your use cases and the success of the PoC (proof of concept) criteria that should help gauge whether this product can serve the purpose. The best part about this product is, it is inexpensive as compared to the value it brings to your application infrastructure.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I use this product primarily to monitor, gain insight into the application code performance. Its ability to perform agentless database monitoring, including RDBMS, NoSQL databases, allows it to drill down to SQL statements, identify and monitor slow database calls. I also use it to monitor the websites such as HTTPS, DNS server, FTP server, SSL/TLS certificate, URLs, and REST APIs.
