Data Center Real-User Monitoring (DCRUM), discontinued vs. ManageEngine Application Manager

Dynatrace Network Application Monitoring (NAM), formerly DCRUM, has improved greatly compared to when it was DCRUM; however, it still needs a lot of improvement in end-to-end flow capture with regards to network monitoring. Its alerting and integration capabilities are very good and easy to use. But it still needs a lot of tweaking in usability.

Managed Engine Applications Manager excels in monitoring virtual machine databases and general system health. However, it isn't designed for monitoring items like UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems. Its strengths lie in optimizing IT infrastructure, while UPS monitoring would be better suited to managed engine opsmanager.

Best of breed.

The only thing missing for a 10, would be if they texted or called you back.

Nagios can't trace real user transactions from a front-end tier through a backend-tier,;with Nagios you only can monitor server availability and hardware issues. Riverbed is commonly used to determine networking issues without considering real user transactions impact on an application stack.

As per our Infrastructure It satisfied all our needs and more importantly it is pocket Friendly.

so far it is a good to go Tool.

• Dynatrace Network Application Monitoring (NAM), formerly DCRUM, helped us get a lot of info on an ongoing issue.
• It helped us figure out network bottlenecks in our environment.
• It is a very costly tool and a lot of other cheaper tools give same kind of info.
