"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that you can easily determine the load on the application."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"It is simple."
"The power flow is great."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"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."
"The Log Analytics feature is a bit complicated."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"The GUI can be overwhelming at first to a novice Dev or Ops support person, and the possible root causes of an issue do not bubble up to the first screen you see."
"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."
"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."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"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."
