Customer Success Stories
Global Banking
"Running more than 20 critical applications with fragmented monitoring. Moving to a unified monitoring and operations platform reduced gaps and helped prevent outages that weren't acceptable at that scale."
State Department of Justice
"We were very much a Microsoft shop. The problem we found over time is Microsoft has a great suite of products, but there are a lot of gaps. Manage Engine didn't just do everything we were doing before it gave us visibility into things we didn't even know were problems."
Credit Union
"We came across ServiceDesk Plus. Before that we were logging help desk calls in a spiral notebook. Capturing that tribal knowledge was super important."
Banking Sector (India)
"Before we bought Manage Engine, managing endpoints across our bank branches was a struggle. The patch management alone saves us hours of work every month."
