"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"AppDynamics has a very broad range of supported technologies, and it's user-friendly. It looks nice, and it's easy to sell the solution to the stakeholders when we can visualize how the website is working. For example, where we have any problems through visual analytics."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The UI could use a little help."
"This solution is expensive."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
