### "Reliable End-to-End Visibility for Diverse IT Environments"

November 18, 2025

5.0

The best part of the experience is the ability to monitor a massive diversity of technologies—from applications (Java, .NET), to databases (SQL, Oracle), servers (Windows, Linux), virtualization (VMware), and containers (Kubernetes, Docker)—all from a single, unified console.

Pros

The best part is the value for money. Applications Manager delivers robust, enterprise-grade Application Performance Monitoring (APM)—including features like real-time monitoring and root cause analysis—at a fraction of the cost of premium alternatives (like AppDynamics or Dynatrace). For a mid-sized IT team, the comprehensive feature set combined with the affordable, flexible licensing made it an unbeatable choice

Cons

My biggest pain point was the complexity involved in advanced customization and reporting. Setting up basic monitoring is easy, but achieving sophisticated, granular control—like complex calculated metrics, custom dashboard layouts that perfectly match specific business flows, or scheduled reports in non-standard formats—often required diving into custom scripting or obscure configuration files, which was time-consuming and required specialized technical knowledge.

### "Offering useful recommendations for avoiding costly interruption"

April 23, 2025

4.0

Pros

I like how with ManageEngine Applications Manager I am getting insights into the applications availability and performance. With the help of dashboards, I am able to view the status of all important applications at a glimpse and this makes it easier for me to predict possible troubles before they turn into mishaps.

Cons

I did experience some difficulties when it comes to configuration of the alert. Sometimes it is not as convenient as I would like it and there are moments when I cannot get quite precise alerts for certain circumstances, thus getting unnecessary notifications.

### "ManageEngine Applications Manager and Monitor"

June 24, 2025

5.0

Optimal platform for organizations seeking in-depth insights into critical application performance. All technicians receive notification alerts to ensure no important messages are missed.

Pros

Real-time alerts for critical applications like the Production-DB and the B2B switching gateway optimize monitoring and enable rapid responses to prevent downtime.

Cons

I would like to recommend this technology as it is easy to integrate with Endpoint Central. All technicians receive notification alerts to ensure that no important messages are missed.

### "Efficient monitoring that improves organization’s operations"

April 22, 2025

4.0

Pros

The solution can be considered very user-friendly with a clear representation of the state and performance of the system that can be achieved through ManageEngine Applications Manager . It makes it easier to make decisions and choose specific resources within a short space of time.​

Cons

The reporting module still lacks some well-defined filtering criteria to narrow the range of results and exclude unnecessary data, especially when the user wants to obtain a particular report without entering additional parameters and exporting the dataset to other tools.​

### "Centralized access has simplified our IT processes"

April 25, 2025

4.0

Pros

ManageEngine Applications Manager presents a single pane of glass that gives insight into multiple aspects of the IT environment. It also serves the purpose of ease in monitoring of processes and identifying sluggish systems or services that may be causing slow processing.​

Cons

At some time the system may take some time to update some screens, for example the dashboard may take some time to refresh during peak usage. If the latency is short it can hamper decision-making whenever decisions are most urgent.​

### "Increase visibility radically across the service chain"

April 10, 2025

5.0

Applications Manager has proved to be a valuable application health checker within our environment. I use it on a daily basis to track transactions that may have been processed slowly as well as the CPU utilization and background process downtimes.

Pros

In my case one feature that appealed to me was the ability to do multi-tier monitoring of applications built using .NET and MySQL-based services. I could easily find slow transactions from the front-end till the database level without moving between the tools.

Cons

During the process of adding cloud resources dynamically I found that discovery tool does not always detect AWS instances unless the credentials are rerun.

### "Supported timely identification and management of issues"

April 22, 2025

4.0

Pros

With the help of ManageEngine Applications Manager which facilitates real time monitoring, I am able to resolve problems on the spot. This makes the system to act proactively in such a way that any issues are detected even before a reach the end-users.​

Cons

Some features that are available in the desktop version are missing in the mobile application, and this reduces the ability of monitoring while on the move.​The mobile app could use some improvement in terms of its functionality or features.

### "Delivered quantitative reports that guide the decisions made"

April 25, 2025

4.0

Pros

ManageEngine Applications Manager offers features that offers graphics on the application’s performance and also at a historical aspect. It was a useful experience in our attempt to diagnose some issues related to the management of capacity that we foresee in our systems.​

Cons

Drawing reports may be tiresome especially when using large sets of data and information. The report builder interface may also be more user-friendly so that it will not be tiresome when building different types of analytical reports.​

### "Simplified application monitoring with practical features"

April 23, 2025

4.0

Pros

I liked how they did their work when it comes to application performance monitoring with the help of ManageEngine Applications Manager. It helps me to monitor all important aspects in our applications including response time and server status and enables us to control for downtime.

Cons

An area that seems to be poorly integrated is with certain other tools from other vendors. There are some relatively emerging technologies that are not fully compatible, which can somewhat reduce its impact in certain applications.

### "ManageEngine offers excellent observability features for an affordable price"

December 13, 2024

5.0

One of the main reasons we chose ManageEngine Applications Manager is due to its ease of use and the range of features offered at a fraction of the price. We had a smooth onboadring process and even when we had difficulties operating the product, the assistance by the technical team was truly exceptional.

Pros

Our primary focus is IT infrastructure monitoring, particularly database, server and application performance monitoring. APM capabities, distributed tracing, and database monitoring is extensive with granular level insights. With ManageEngine Applications Manager, we were able to overcome our challenges with visibility and issue management. The intelligent alerts and RCA provided the means to reduce the MTTI and MTTR significantly. Applications Manager also has something called forecast reports and anomaly detection, which helps us forecast the possible resource/performance bottlenecks that may occur. That helped us pre-empt a lot of issue that could have costed us our business.

Cons

The reports need to be enhanced. To get advanced analytics, we need to integrate with Analytics Plus. The UI lacks color and aesthetic, that can be improved as well. AIOps is limited.

### "Improve on minimization of non-automated log checks"

April 10, 2025

4.0

Leveraging Applications Manager has brought about stability in our virtual and on-prem environments. I have recorded less downtimes and faster RCA time because it reveals the precise fault domain whether it is a cloud instance, DB lag or a VM bottleneck.

Pros

I had a favorable impression on Applications Manager since it provides information on the activities of app server and database server on real-time basis. For example, I could identify slow queries and JVM memory problems before they become a concern to other users.

Cons

I encountered a problem when monitoring those applications in terms of the use of their scripting component. The polling of data could not be made fine-grained and this averted the availability of metrics during busy times.

### "Gave unprecedented insight into the applications’ behavior"

April 20, 2025

4.0

Pros

It is helpful that Applications Manager can monitor servers, databases, and the users’ experiences in one application. The synthetic transaction monitoring has been useful in emulating the user activity and thus being able to check the reliability of the application.​

Cons

Some third-party tools demanded filling in gaps of scripting and other customizations. The only thing that could be improved, in my opinion, is a better compatibility of the product with other DevOps tools.​

### "Offered us fine and customized database monitoring"

April 7, 2025

4.0

Pros

The database monitoring of ManageEngine Applications Manager for SQL, Oracle and MongoDB gave us information, for which we used to need tools which were different. It was useful to identify the performance of each query in the search result which highlighted what was most important to users.

Cons

The topology maps for complex applications could become complicated and complex to understand just by looking at it. In the next section, it was observed that the geographical distribution of the monitoring nodes could not be altered.

### "Ensured consistently reliable monitoring for hybrid IT landscapes"

April 8, 2025

4.0

Pros

I liked that I could manage our VMware VMs along with on-prem Oracle databases we support without switching between different applications. It consolidates all the layers of application and helps me easily pinpoint latency hiccups in the system.

Cons

They fail to detect all the services that are running on non-standard ports in the first scan. For some of the in-house tools developed over the years, although settings had to be adjusted manually to achieve visibility comprehensiveness.

### "New alerts on out of ordinary behaviours were accurate"

April 7, 2025

4.0

Pros

During its use I found real-time monitoring of applications and their health and performance to be an invaluable tool. This approach enabled me to quickly find sources of delays and utilize my problem-solving skills in preventing such problems from affecting the users.

Cons

The first server cost demand was a little higher than planned and this led to a few hitches while launching the system. A little bit of tweaking was done to suit it for the smooth running in our environment.

### "Observation efficiencies have improved our supervising functions"

April 25, 2025

4.0

Pros

Applications Manager has an excellent performance in monitoring different environment starting from physical servers to cloud applications. This means that one can have different performance indicators to track across the entire infrastructure thus making task easy to handle.​

Cons

I noticed occasional replication lag across the environments to monitor. Such discrepancies meant that some of the conditions were verified manually in order to maintain credibility which augmented the monitoring demands.​

### "Secure tool for ensuring the stability of our applications"

April 25, 2025

4.0

Pros

ManageEngine Applications Manager is exceptional in its real time monitoring of applications and servers. I have performance concerns that allows me to correct them before users identify them. This way an automated discovery of all dependencies eliminates the need for any manual effort.

Cons

Organizations need more flexibility in the reporting module. Although the given reports are important, creating a new report with certain parameters takes additional actions and efforts, and it is not very convenient.

Using ManageEngine Applications Manager is quite easy and its layered structure allows easy access to different utilities. It makes it rather easy for me to get to the most important tracking data and adjust monitoring parameters there was not much training required.​

Cons

There are some extra options which are concealed pretty deeply, the users can not quickly and easily find it. These features were a little harder to find and to learn where they could be accessed within the software.​
