Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"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."
"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."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"The training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"This solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
