Application Performance Management (APM) is all about delivering business applications that meet customer satisfaction through: End User Experience monitoring Runtime application architecture discovery, modeling and display User-defined transaction profiling Component deep dive monitoring in application context Business-driven analytics

Enterprise IT Management teams must also be in control of the whole process of application delivery

APM empowers educated decisions and rapid problem resolutions to IT administrators can make optimum use of time & resources

At the Bottom Line: Satisfied customers, efficient IT operations & better ROI

What is True Application Performance Management ?

Customer-Focused Software Development Versus Vendor-Driven Marketing Hype

Financial Engineering for the Vendor’s Bottom Line

SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM)

• Conventional server monitoring functionality at best

• By definition (Gartner), not a true APM product

SolarWinds “real-time” Monitoring

6

Applications Manager supports over 50+ applications out-of-the-box (without the need to manage templates and contributed binaries or worrying about using untested third-party code like you have to with SolarWinds). The monitors we support are tested and certified for use from our R&D labs, which will give you the peace of mind that our monitoring capabilities are safe to use in your mission critical data center.

That said, ManageEngine Applications Manager allows customers to seamlessly integrate and use any home grown scripts to monitor software or hardware components.

Application Performance Monitoring that does Not Depend on Third Party Contributed Scripts

ManageEngine Offers More Pricing Options for Customers

The cost of monitoring 25 servers with ManageEngine Applications Manager subscription pricing or perpetual pricing are nearly the same.

A Wall Street Focused company (SolarWinds) that needs to show maximum revenue can’t stomach the delayed payments associated with a subscription model.

Somebody Has to Pay For All Their Acquisitions…

Take Exchange Server monitoring as an example. This SolarWinds forum post says you need 34 SolarWinds Monitors to monitor one Exchange Server.With Applications Manager, you can monitor 25 Exchange Servers (count assumed for simplicity) and all the associated performance metrics, with a 25 Monitor license that costs $795 per year (subscription) or $1,980 with a perpetual license.

With SolarWinds, in the above scenario, you need 850 Monitors which will cost $11,990

SolarWinds SAM Charges Per Sub Component Not by Server or Application!

Oh, you may need something else - with SolarWinds you can always pay more! You pay $4,995 if you want to aggregate your multiple Orion consoles into a single console.You pay for Additional Pollers too if you run in to scale - $16,975You pay additionally for multiple Web Server logins - $495Failover is also an additional cost with SolarWinds - $6995 to $20,995

ManageEngine Applications Manager Pricing is easy to understand and publicly available on the web. No strings attached. Please make an educated comparison.
