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 initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics is the scalability and monitoring."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"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."
"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."
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."
"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."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"AppDynamics is a solution that requires extra learning and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, automated reports would helpful similar to have they have in Google Analytics."
"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."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"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."
