ManageEngine announced its entry into the self-service IT analytics market with the launch of Analytics Plus. Designed for mid- to large-size organizations that want to draw insights from their IT data, Analytics Plus integrates easily with various data sources and tools, analyzes vast data volumes and presents findings with rich visualizations.
Too many organizations use too many IT tools to run their businesses. Those tools may also support IT users, infrastructure and business applications. However, they do not support fast, accurate decisions — for IT or for business. The problem is all the data and all the data formats created by the tools is stored in silos that thwart actionable insights and visibility into organizational performance. Solutions exist to analyze all that data, but they typically are too complicated, require too much customization by experts, or are too time-consuming and expensive.
“Most companies want the IT analytics payoff, but few want to pay the steep IT analytics price,” said Sridhar Iyengar, Vice President, ManageEngine. “We’re uniquely positioned to drive the widespread adoption of this powerful technology. We know IT management and how to make it both powerful and simple. We know IT admins, managers, CIOs and CEOs and what they expect in analytics-driven insights. And we know business intelligence and analytics and for last the 10 years our sister division, Zoho.com, has spent refining those technologies, which we’re leveraging in Analytics Plus.”
Analytics is becoming as essential to organizations today as IT did years back. Analytics Plus meets the growing requirement to put IT analytics within every organization’s reach and provide the insights and visibility needed to make better decisions, faster. Harnessing ManageEngine’s deep experience across the IT management spectrum, Analytics Plus brings together and correlates islands of data to instantly provide insights in the form of rich visualization and interactive dashboards. It is fast to set up and easy to use and has powerful data blending, analytics and statistics. Users can create reports and dashboards that include charts, widgets, KPI metrics, pivot tables, and tabular view components. The dashboards let users visually slice and dice data, drill down into details, and change the appearance using different chart types and pre-defined templates. The Analytics Plus architecture lets users analyze data from a variety of data sources such as spreadsheets, files and feeds, relational and non-relational databases, applications and Web API, providing a unified view of their entire IT.
Not only this with Analytics Plus, users can securely share reports and dashboards with others to reach consensus and make group decisions quickly. Dashboards can be embedded in websites, intranets and other Web apps for wider access with fine-grained control.
Analytics Plus is also available as a mobile app for Android and iOS tablets, so users can access and interact with the reports and dashboards already created, on the move. It saves organizations up to 50 percent in total costs compared to leading IT analytics tools offering similar functionality.
