"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."

The dashboard is intuitive and helps visualize the connections, the directions of the flow, and the information related to these specific sessions."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"The features that I like best are the dashboard and Business Journey."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"Wire data analytics."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"Installation and configuration can be very tough. An average user without specialized knowledge can't do this. You need to have DevOps and QA teams handle it. During installation, a lot of customers get stuck trying to track the database or the API part, and they have to contact customer support."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."

"The QA and test environment need improvement."

"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
