### "Proactive issue detection saves time and resources"

April 25, 2025

4.0

Pros

The ManageEngine Applications Manager 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.

### "Comprehensive Monitoring with ManageEngine Applications Manager"

November 13, 2024

5.0

Its real-time monitoring, along with customizable alerts, helps us stay ahead of potential issues, improving system reliability and minimizing downtime. The interface is user-friendly, and the integration with various third-party tools enhances its functionality. However, the product could benefit from more in-depth documentation and a smoother setup process for advanced features

Pros

It provides deep insights into the performance of applications, servers, and infrastructure with real-time monitoring and detailed analytics. The customizable dashboards and alerting systems are particularly useful for staying on top of critical performance issues before they impact users.

Cons

While the core monitoring functions are straightforward, customizing certain aspects, such as creating advanced reports or fine-tuning integrations, can be challenging and require a deep understanding of the product.

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

April 7, 2025

4.0

Pros

I find the ability to configure dependence mapping automatically in ManageEngine Applications Manager 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.

### "Helped me in balancing my working load among autoscaled pods"

April 17, 2025

4.0

Pros

I came across one that I found quite interesting and that is its support of container environments. With Applications Manager, I was able to monitor Docker containers hosting Python applications and the memory and the response time in between the instances.

Cons

The problem that I encountered was in monitoring of older network equipment based on SNMP. The MIBs had to either be configured manually or the right traps were not provided responses in return.

### "Offered full-featured application monitoring and diagnostics suite"

April 21, 2025

4.0

Pros

I believe that ManageEngine Applications Manager has made it easier to drill down into the application performance, most especially with distributed tracing. It allows me to find out which layer in the application has the biggest delay or issues in a microservices environment.​

Cons

I face difficulties in organizing views according to the requirements of the team without using additional tools or making some compromises.​

### "ManageEngine Application Manager: A Comprehensive Performance Monitoring Solution"

December 2, 2024

5.0

ManageEngine Application Manager is a cost effective and feature rich monitoring tool offering comprehensive coverage of servers, application, database, and hybrid environments with real time tracking, root cause analysis and customizable dashboards. It is user friendly for basic setups but can require technical expertise for advanced customization and integration. While is provides reliable supports and resource, users may face challenges with performance in large setups, alerting system, customization and less modern UI.

Pros

Comprehensive Monitoring: It Supports diverse applications and technologies, including web servers, databases, cloud services, ERP systems, and more. Also, an End-to-End Visibility Offers insights into all layers, from infrastructure to applications.

Cons

Complexity in Advanced Configuration: There is a steep Learning Curve for Advanced Features while the basic setup is simple, configuring advanced monitoring, custom scripts, or integrations can be challenging for some users. And Script-Based Customization requires technical expertise for creating or modifying custom scripts.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

Key highlights is its broad monitoring capabilities, which cover applications, servers, databases, and cloud environments. Users appreciate its user-friendly dashboard .

### "Establish higher transparency in the distributed stack"

April 16, 2025

5.0

Pros

I liked that Applications Manager here offered actual application performance monitoring combined it with transaction-level tracking. This is very useful to detect JVM memory leaks in production before they turn into serious problems.

Cons

The movement of the agent across several cloud interfaces was somewhat jerky at times.

### "Helped me to overcome difficulties with gaps in visibility"

April 18, 2025

5.0

Pros

I enjoyed the fact that Applications Manager only required a single tool to monitor our infrastructure that partially consists of on-premises VMware and AWS EC2 instances. Monitoring for CPU utilization and memory limits in real time made it possible for me to address alerts before the performance affected user sessions.

Cons

The relationship with the infrastructure alerts and application performance could be even more obvious.

### "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

### "Maintaining our customer-facing platforms sharp and speedy"

April 9, 2025

5.0

Pros

The test has worked well with the PHP application implementations of transactions tracking. The fashion in which it identifies specific queries as well as functions affecting page speed has enabled us optimise API response during high traffic periods to reduce bounce rates.

Cons

There is one thing that annoyed me and that is that there is no built-in and visual dependency map of the application’s components.

Pros

With the help of ManageEngine Applications Manager we have been able to monitor more than a hundred and fifty technologies in physical, virtual as well as cloud spaces. It is available for Java, .NET and other platforms thus any performance problem is solved immediately keeping applications’ performance high.

### "Improved the way we apply monitoring to our applications"

April 21, 2025

4.0

Pros

I personally like real time alerts of ManageEngine Applications Manager as well as AI on new Anomaly Detection. Application monitoring enables me to notice problems and fix them before they become something major, as it will keep all of our applications running smoothly.

Cons

The synthetic transaction monitoring can sometimes fail to detect certain issues that are noticeable by actual users. This at times implies that particular user-reported issues might take long before they are addressed by the firm.​

### "Allowed me to integrate my monitoring pipeline"

April 17, 2025

5.0

Pros

It has been useful to have Applications Manager support for monitoring containers running in the different Kubernetes clusters. I use it to decode the relationship between pod performance and the backend services, which was previously a job for other tools.

Cons

I had to manually build connections between deployment markers for performance with specific time lines.
