### "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 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.

### "End-to-end visibility for smooth IT operations"

February 25, 2025

5.0

Applications Manager delivers on its promises, providing extensive monitoring capabilities and real-time performance insights. While it requires some initial investment in training, the benefits are substantial and long-lasting.

Pros

The seamless integration with ITSM tools like ServiceNow and Zendesk streamlines incident management workflows, reducing manual effort while ensuring faster resolution times for performance issues.

Cons

The interface could benefit from a more modern design, as some users feel it appears outdated compared to other contemporary monitoring tools available on the market.

### "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

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.

### "Baseline performance verification before any rollout"

April 11, 2025

4.0

Pros

Being an Applications Manager let me probe deeply into server and application layers such as Apache, Tomcat, PostgreSQL, I had all the metrics I needed, from thread usage, DB I/O, heap memory and background jobs execution time. I appreciated the fine-grained it is per instance that is being monitored.

Cons

When specifying some metrics or coming to I/O wait or network queue build-up, we are required to set alert thresholds. Failure occurrences made their alarms go off during maintenance times or even during backups creating much alert fatigue at first.

### "Friendly interface enhances monitoring efficiency"

April 26, 2025

4.0

Pros

Using 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.​

4.0

Pros

The allows us to detect possible problems before they affect the users and thus resolving them on time to avoid service downtimes. It has been extremely important in sustaining the quality of services rendered to the customers.​

Cons

The alert thresholds sometimes need to be fine tuned and brought in line with our performance benchmarks. It was realized that some of the specifications in the default settings were not typical of its current use.

### "Helps to track performance of applications with multiple platforms"

April 3, 2025

4.0

Pros

Using this I got an insight of real time performance of my apps on both cloud and on premise bases. The fact that I could track every SQL statement in the database helped me build better queries and ask fewer requests that slowed down the application.

Cons

One of the challenges I experienced was that noisy threshold-based alerting are irregular sometimes. Some of them occurred a few seconds later than that particularly those related to the observation of resource-consuming apps.

### "Gave us complete assurance regarding cloud portfolio management"

April 8, 2025

5.0

Pros

The best feature of the Splunk App for AWS in my opinion was how efficient it was in keeping track of our AWS resources. The real-time status of EC2 and RDS services along with performance baselines enabled me to directly relate cloud events to application problems.

Cons

There were some additional processes that were not covered in the documentation when installing custom metrics, which I encountered personally.

### "Ensured reliable monitoring of important business applications"

April 7, 2025

4.0

Pros

I find the ability to configure dependence mapping automatically in as extremely valuable as it helped to save a lot of time. The metering capabilities to identify transaction flows across distributed systems was specifically beneficial.

Cons

There were some issues with the reporting module especially when working with very large data sets which at times ran out of time while compiling extensive historic reports.

### "Made infrastructure monitoring more actionable"

April 11, 2025

5.0

Pros

I enjoyed the level of monitoring of services such as Apache, NGINX, application server, etc. Within each task, it is divided into finer measures such as request rate, thread producer, memory usage, and user sessions which made me to adopt consistent measures across the application layers.

Cons

On some occasions, there was a delay when it came retrieving historical data and information.

### "Overview of our systems has made our monitoring methods more efficient"

April 19, 2025

4.0

Pros

The Applications Manager pays significant attention to monitoring across different platforms like corporate clouds and corporate local applications. The proactive alerting system, especially the anomaly detection feature of the system is of great importance because it helps to pin-point certain problems quickly.

Cons

The possibilities to customize the dashboard are rather practical, although not very user-friendly. Maintaining different views for specific teams was needed and it turned out that some settings are more suitable only for specific ones.​

### "Offered us the full-blown root cause analysis capabilities"

April 7, 2025

4.0

Pros

The automation provided by the AI for the detection of the anomalies and the root cause analysis helped lowering our MTTR significantly. Some of the most satisfactory work was done in comparing and associating the application metrics data with infrastructure data.

Cons

The mobile application had several limitations, especially in terms of usability during detailed analyses. Android’s performance must be upgraded notably for the mobile experience.

### "Underwhelming Container Monitoring at a Premium Cost"

June 8, 2025

2.0

Feels like the same clunky ManageEngine product like Endpoint Central. Perhaps a little less so, but still feels hobbled together to get money from companies that don't already have monitoring setup

Pros

Comparing it to something like Zabbix, its nice to not have to build out dashboards to view the data

Cons

Applications Manager, at least when I had used it for a trial, was for Docker container monitoring which was easily replace with Zabbix since they both used the same Docker API and saved us a ton of money

### "Troubleshoot slow application behavior using root cause analysis features"

April 11, 2025

4.0

Pros

I liked how the Applications Manager alerted me whenever it noted a decline in application performance that enables me to avoid the application crashing. Database monitoring, especially with regard to PostgreSQL and MySQL let me get to his slow query level.

Cons

One of the challenges I came across was when it es to setting up of scripts for synthesis transaction monitoring. To acquire an expected result, I had to modify the scripts several times which consumed more time.

### "Rock-solid monitoring backbone for our hybrid apps"

April 17, 2025

5.0

Pros

Applications Manager has been used for Java and .NET applications, and the ability to identify the cause of latency at the transaction level is advantageous. It is also useful for synthetic monitoring to be proactive when generating alerts for user journeys.

Cons

The problem that I encountered is that with some kinds of selected legacy app servers, it does not auto-discover metrics and requires manual settings.
