"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."

"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"From the performance management side, I like everything from business transaction work to tracking. On the database side, we can get a lot of insights from the database. On the server monitoring side, it helped us a lot to find out some of the issues on the VM side because VMs were creating a little trouble for us."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"The UI could use a little help."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors. In addition, for end-user monitoring, sometimes, we are not able to catch all user activities. Because of not being able to follow the user activity from the start to the end, we are missing out on the performance issues."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"They do not have robust documentation."
