Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."
"The initial setup is simple."
"After a major incident, root cause analysis is conducted and, most of the time, we understand what caused the incident and how it can be prevented from happening again."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"The most valuable feature for us was the ability to monitor sites and get a nice overview of all the data in a single view."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"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."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for diagnostic purposes. Anyone who is using the solution should be able to infer what that error is about, they should be able to troubleshoot it better."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"One area that could be improved is the reporting features. In the version transformation from ten to eleven, the platform changed from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform. As a result, the previous reporting feature using Crystal Reports was no longer available. Instead, we had to generate PDF dashboard reports, which were not as flexible."
