"We used MOM 2000 and 2005 before ApplicationsManager.
We were not satisfied with the reports that mom produces.
AppManager gives really comprehensive reports about
our systems. We have nearly 70 servers (Microsoft and
Tru64 and HPUX, HP DL and HP Alpha servers) around including
branch offices. We are using Oracle databases. AppManager's
Oracle monitor pages are really good for our Oracle
DBAs.
The most important property of AppManager is that there
are no AGENTS anymore. The notifications section is
also the important thing that we use mostly.
Online Support was a great opportunity for us. Thanks
for this real system monitoring tool."

Analyst reports state there are over 25% custom Applications out there and those apps do not have a standard way to monitor. Now here is a credible mechanism to monitor those custom applications too. Where can you use it ? 1. Use it to track Unix SysLogs and check for : * Kernel errors * Device errors * Security alerts etc ..... read full blog
