ManageEngine, Zoho Corporation’s enterprise IT management division, announced that Analytics Plus, its IT analytics product, is now available as a SaaS offering, allowing users to set up a fully functional, integrated analytics platform in less than 60 seconds.
This launch completes the company’s vision of deploying analytics anywhere, allowing organizations to easily deploy analytics on private or public clouds such as AWS and Azure. ManageEngine will debut the new offering at its user conference, which will be held on August 4-5, at the InterContinental Melbourne in Australia.
IT operations are now structured in such a way that the use of multiple monitoring tools and technologies is required to ensure that the business remains operational and accessible to its customers around the clock. While these disparate IT tools provide excellent visibility into their respective areas of operations, they fall short of providing complete visibility into IT as a whole, costing IT leaders time and effort in gathering insights.
Analytics Plus’ new cloud offering completes the IT application stack by laying the groundwork for integrations, allowing organizations to connect to a wide range of data sources and achieve faster time to market, higher productivity, lower costs, and increase revenue.
“At ManageEngine, we’ve witnessed several digital transformation trends over the last two decades across all industry verticals: rapid cloud adoption, a need for setting up a data-centric culture, and the need for advanced AI to sift through data lakes and establish correlations, triage events, and eliminate the need for human intervention in data analysis,” said Rakesh Jayaprakash, product manager at ManageEngine. “That’s why we’ve launched the cloud version of Analytics Plus—a marriage of our 20+ years of domain expertise with cloud benefits like flexibility, agility and scalability to help augment strategic decision-making with insights that are fast, reliable and contextual.”
Analytics Plus can be installed on-premises servers (Windows or Linux), Docker containers, or cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Analytics Plus now integrates with over 40 business applications, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Stripe, SurveyMonkey, Google Analytics, Xero, QuickBooks, Salesforce CRM, and LinkedIn, as well as over 30 IT monitoring applications, including Solarwinds, Nagios, Splunk, DataDog, AppDynamics, and OpenNMS, to provide IT leaders with a comprehensive view of IT performance. Support for these new apps will allow IT leaders to calculate the ROI of IT as well as how IT has contributed to the achievement of business goals.
ManageEngine has also enhanced its built-in AI assistant with domain-level intelligence to bridge the gap between data and decision makers. “Contextual AI can deliver the most crucial insights at a large scale that will resonate with IT leaders. For example, context-aware AI can suggest how to deploy workloads in the most cost-effective and high-performing cloud locations, taking into account performance, cost structure and security requirements,” said Jayaprakash.
