  • Visibility into the status of our services and the end user experience (End to End)

  • Any security feature that can be integrated or monitor the compliance or benchmark of our platform (Hypervisor, servers, virtual and physical)

  • The granularity or fine tuning capacity that it manages to monitor has helped us prevent loss of service and ensure that our SLAs are optimal.

Usability

Nifty product, continued development. Worth its weight in gold!!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our current MS product was free but hard to implement simple monitoring and needed lot of training investment to get the best out of the product. It was also going out of support and required investment. Specifically with our Cert Monitoring, it required to use a third party product which was really clunky. ManageEngine Application Manager simplified all that.

Pros

  • Monitoring Website
  • Monitoring SSL certificate Expiry
  • Email of reports is great and configurable.

Cons

  • Plugin Quirks where it times out
  • Navigation through some of the screen seems a bit confusing
  • Consistency such as where license info is location between op and app manager are in different places. Better if it were consistent
  • Maintenance schedules in different locations in both Op and App manger product, needs consistency. They are all Zoho products!!

Return on Investment

  • Less Cert expiry issues, providing better uptime
  • Can produce report to give customer on uptime of services especially websites
  • Easier to discuss issues as we have information we can see.
