Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"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."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"InfoVista 5View NetFlow allows us to control the application layer and manage API connections, i.e. Facebook logins or whatever other third-party API services we require."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"They are using Flash for their website, which is very slow. We had hoped the website would be much faster to use, and that is definitely what we want to see."
"I would like them to change their business model for scalability to accommodate growing companies. The business model should be more flexible."
"If it can be able to intelligently provide all the things we need to look at, from a data point of view, that would be very useful."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"A little bit better documentation on the details is needed because this subject is not easy sometimes to understand, which limits the capability of the software."
