Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The ability to check parameters for microservice applications is most valuable. It is important for me. I can manually create new business transactions for applications and individually monitor business transactions. I can also use a lot of extensions. It has a lot of extensions to monitor other third-party applications, such as NoSQL applications, memory cache applications, Kafka applications, and Couchbase applications. It is very useful. We are also using the end-user monitoring site to follow all end-user activities. It is important for us to check the errors on the customer site."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"I would like them to change their business model for scalability to accommodate growing companies. The business model should be more flexible."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"If it can be able to intelligently provide all the things we need to look at, from a data point of view, that would be very useful."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
