So, it's at a deeper level with all the database functionalities, and you will get that information. So, it's a pretty good tool in that sense."
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"Mean time to recover (MTTR) has reduced significantly during major outages due to specific data pinpointed by DT applications."
"The web dashboards are quite useful, good looking, and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is, I can quickly go to the PurePath and find the problem in the application. I can say that it provides me a way by which I can quickly find the root cause of the problem."
"The solution can be deployed quickly on-prem. Once it's deployed, you can use discovery and review the process and service on this application."
"The solution offers a better overview of applications. It offers end-to-end monitoring, and the user experience is real."
"Finds issues that previously occupied people for months."
"By using Dynatrace, we can set up the agents to provide alerts at the JVM level."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"Its needs to focus more on open source areas, like Apache umbrella products and availability motioning areas."

"It needs improvement with proprietary protocols for the DC RUM part."
"We would like to see more dashboarding capabilities and the ability to export custom reports."
"Dynatrace has APIs, but they are unfriendly APIs. If they were friendly like Splunk or Sumo Logic had, we might integrate that same data on a single webpage, then start showing these internally."
"The integration of the tools is getting there. It is still not there yet, because we still have to get a lot of tools to put together."
"When compared with other tools, the experience needs improvement. I would like them to build out the interactions and make them friendlier."
"We have had problems with our middle layer application implementation."
