Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"It is simple."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"Power packs."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"At this time, we don't have much visibility on the virtual environment, monitoring, and all other things. We have visibility only for database monitoring, and we have noticed performance impact when deploying database agents on the database server. We got to know this from AppDynamics support also that we should not deploy database agents from the database server. When agents are deployed on the same server and the database is monitored from there, we are not getting database server metrics. Therefore, we don't have those insights, and sometimes, we struggle because of that. They can improve this functionality so that we do not have a performance impact, and we can deploy anywhere. This would help us a lot. In terms of end-user monitoring, currently, it is not working for us because there are some complexities. It is a little complicated, and it takes a little bit of time to understand where you need to make changes. It would be very helpful if they can provide some template designs for end-user monitoring. When our servers are running on VMs, we don't get many insights from the VM side. I don't know whether it is possible to have visibility beyond the database, server, and application and whether there are some features where we can deploy AppDynamics on VMs as well. Such functionality would give us more control over storage, VM, OS, and database. It will also provide complete visibility of our hardware and software."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"The product is not user-friendly."
