Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"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."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"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."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"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."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
