Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"AppDynamics is easy to implement if you follow the documentation, and the documentation that they provide is good."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"We are able to correlate performance between tiers."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"From the performance management side, I like everything from business transaction work to tracking. On the database side, we can get a lot of insights from the database. On the server monitoring side, it helped us a lot to find out some of the issues on the VM side because VMs were creating a little trouble for us."
"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."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"They are using Flash for their website, which is very slow. We had hoped the website would be much faster to use, and that is definitely what we want to see."
"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."
