A few weeks back, SolarWinds posted a presentation comparing their product SolarWinds SAM versus ManageEngine Applications Manager. It contained many errors and fabrications. That’s not a surprise!
The reality is that SolarWinds is at best a network monitoring product company. One can only assume being a public company, they are aggressively trying to meet their financial goals by overhyping product capabilities, confusing potential customers and picking the wrong fights.
In an effort to give customers a more transparent analysis of our respective application performance monitoring solutions, we have responded with a presentation of our own.
We think our APM product is hands down superior, but admittedly we’re biased. So, in the interest of objectivity – let the market decide. ManageEngine challenges SolarWinds to an application performance monitoring public bake-off.
SolarWinds, put your product where your mouth is! A head-to-head comparison of SolarWinds SAM vs ManageEngine Applications Manager conducted by a neutral third-party.
Let the truth be known! SolarWinds, let us know if you are game.

As an independent reviewer of enterprise software tools, we would be pleased to provide an independent platform to provide a true unbiased comparison.
Our approach is to provide complete transparency into our assessment criteria and review process. We can also provide comparisons provided by independent experts or typical end user customers.
