Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"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."
"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."
"InfoVista 5View NetFlow allows us to control the application layer and manage API connections, i.e. Facebook logins or whatever other third-party API services we require."
"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"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."
"The Log Analytics feature is a bit complicated."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"A little bit better documentation on the details is needed because this subject is not easy sometimes to understand, which limits the capability of the software."
