If I want to see what customers are doing wrong in their sessions, we can do that easily. On the other hand, if we want to know the payload in the API calls, that is the area where Datadog can improve.
It has strength in collecting information through SSH, WMI, Telnet, SNMP, http, https, MSSQL ports (several types of DB postgresql, db2, SAP MaxDB, HANA which we must monitor).The information it extracts is very useful to us since each type of monitor gives us visibility of what happens internally in them.The truth is that the needs that we have had during these years, ManageEngine Application Manager has been able to cover them especially with business core (ERP) with monitoring of SAP Server and SAP CCMS.
The thing which Datadog does really well, one of them are its broad range of services integrations and features which makes it one step observability solution for all. We can monitor all types of our application, infrastructure, hosts, databases etc with Datadog.
Its custom dashboard feature which helps us to visualize the data in a better way . It supports different types of charts through those charts we can create our dashboard more attractive.
Its AI powered alerting capability though that we can easily identify the root cause and also it has a low noise alerting capability which means it correlated the similar type of issues.
Its a one stop solution for most processes and does reduce cost overall. This does in turn help teams communicate in a much more efficient way, also RUM is a game changer for any quality product; we use RUM alot for debugging and reverse engineering issues. Reports and coverage has been a plus, it all has helped us a lot in our processes.
For the the trust, security and support that ManageEngine Application Manager has given us, for 12 years as clients, has made us very satisfied and grateful for the response times to resolve doubts or needs that we have had.
There are so many features that it can be hard to figure out where you need to go for your own use case. For example, RUM monitoring us buried in a "Digital Experience" sidebar setting when this is one of our key use cases that I sometimes struggle to find in the application. It appears that ECS + Fargate monitoring was recently released which is great because we had to build a lambda reporting solution for ephemeral task monitoring. But this new feature was never on my radar until I starting clicking around the application.
The intuitive ease of the administration interface, the new features, improvements and security fixes that are quickly integrated with frequent updates. Tuning or more detailed reports associated with attributes of services, applications or containers that help us detect certain flaws in our services. The capacity for improvements that are implemented and the ease of integrating new monitors into the product, which we need, gives us the speed and ease of preventing interruptions or events that helps us avoid.
The support team usually gets it right. We did have a rather complicate issue setting up monitoring on a domain controller. However, they are usually responsive and helpful over chat. The downside would be I don’t think they have any phone support. If that is important to you this might not be a good fit.

In terms of usability, I’ve found Datadog significantly more approachable and powerful compared to Elasticsearch, especially for day-to-day operational monitoring. Datadog offers a much more cohesive, user-friendly interface out of the box, with built-in support for metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, and dashboards—all tightly integrated. In contrast, Elasticsearch often felt barebones and required considerable setup and additional tooling (like Kibana or Logstash) to reach the same level of functionality. While Elasticsearch is excellent for high-volume log ingestion and full-text search, it lacks the depth of features and real-time visualization capabilities that Datadog provides natively. The query language in Datadog is also quite usable and comparable for my needs—mainly filtering and aggregating logs and metrics—without needing to learn Elasticsearch's more complex DSL. Overall, Datadog saves our team time and effort, whereas Elasticsearch often felt like building a monitoring system from scratch. The all-in-one nature of Datadog, despite its complexity, is ultimately more efficient and scalable for our use case.
Other solutions like Microsoft EM and SCCM can be interdependent and cause all sorts of issues and additional costs. I think software should be optionally integrated and work on its own as a standalone solution. I like that ManageEngine allows for specific use of its software and not forcing users into an unneeded license or contract.
By providing valuable insights into application performance and resource utilization, it has contributed to better decision-making and resource allocation.
It has helped us identify and resolve performance issues more quickly, minimizing the impact on business operations.
ManageEngine Application Manager has improved our ability to monitor and manage critical applications, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.
