Cons: Auto update rule. Patch management, OS update. create customs rule. Also create for testing rule and then approve for production enviroment.

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.

Pros: It can monitor servers, applications, and databases simultaneously, and it’s very easy and user-friendly to configure.

Cons: Occasional delays in alert delivery may lead to challenges in promptly identifying outages in critical applications.

Pros: ManageEngine Applications Manager demonstrates a high level of reliability and usability, offering comprehensive and informative functionality while maintaining cost efficiency and strong overall performance.

Cons: The reporting and predictive analysis features could be further enhanced with advanced AI and machine learning capabilities to provide deeper insights and more accurate trend forecasting.

Pros: Application Manager having nice view of application mapping with their MAP view. It is easy to correlate application hierarchy to see identify any issues like Active directory and other application

Cons: Overall product is good. Just provide more custom configuration options and view. More application integration options or add on would be helpful

Pros: 1. Support very type of Monitor. Form Infra to small Service. 2. Provide detail insights info to the performance of application and quality. 3. Auto alert and trigger action to fix issue ( restart service or reboot NIC) 4. It provides deep insights into the performance of application

Cons: 1. Built-in database (postgresql) need more performance and disk space. 2. Hope can provide like AI Trend report (Such Disk space usage).

Pros: The cloud infrastructure monitoring is very helpful to monitor our complete cloud services from Azure

Cons: No cons till today some time we might face some performance issues and that will be rectified with the help of their support team

Pros: Great features in terms of additional metrics for each technologies for monitoring , in specific with the application performance

Cons: nothing as of now everything works fine with the good support team and great product team for new features

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.

Pros: The ability to receive real-time alerts for performance issues before there's a service disruption to the end users. Supporting integration with the ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus.

Cons: Challenge with configuring custom reports. Working with automation requires advanced scripting knowledge.

Pros: 1. All-in-One Monitoring Platform It covers a broad range of monitoring needs—applications, infrastructure, databases, cloud, and even containers. This reduces the need to stitch together multiple tools, especially for mid-sized IT teams. 2. Strong APM Capabilities at a Lower Cost Compared to premium APM tools like New Relic or AppDynamics, Applications Manager provides solid application performance monitoring (especially with APM Insight) at a more affordable price point. 3. Custom Dashboards and Reports The ability to create highly customized dashboards and performance reports is excellent for both technical teams and management. Scheduled reporting is especially useful for compliance and SLA tracking.

Cons: 1. Outdated User Interface (UI) The interface feels a bit clunky and dated compared to modern APM tools like Datadog or Dynatrace. Navigation can be overwhelming for new users due to the dense layout and inconsistent UX patterns. 2. Limited Cloud-Native Monitoring Depth While it supports AWS, Azure, and GCP, it lacks the deep, contextual cloud-native observability you get from tools like Datadog or Prometheus/Grafana stacks. Kubernetes support is present but not as deep or intuitive as tools built specifically for microservices and containers.

Pros: Easy onboarding of servers and clear visibility of alerts and in anyone can easily understand the patterns

Cons: Overall system specifications are great, in reports section some the data if we extract that doesn't come in specific readable format, it always need to contact support team, then its available with their help

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

Pros: ManageEngine Applications Manager assisted in managing the health of enterprise applications without the need to use different tools for infrastructure as well as applications. It provided reliable surveillance, forecasting alarms and quick RCA afresh.

Cons: There are some issues including increased intervals of non-detection of server reboots or rapid changes in configuration settings in Linux environments.

Pros: I found it pleasing in the way that ManageEngine Applications Manager was offering to monitor database query. I was able to manage it by tracking slow queries and transaction volumes where for instance Oracle and SQL servers were useful.

Cons: I experienced a minor issue with monitoring third-party services that integrated with an API.

Pros: 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.​

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.​

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.​

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.
