"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"Provides monitoring more around business processes versus just servers, applications, etc. E.g., with complex systems, where a business process passes across multiple applications, the business needs us to monitor the heath of the process, not just a segment of the application."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"Power packs."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
