Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We are able to correlate performance between tiers."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"The most valuable feature is the flow map."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics is the scalability and monitoring."
"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."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"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 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."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"The Log Analytics feature is a bit complicated."
"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."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
