Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"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."
"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."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"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."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"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."
