Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."After a major incident, root cause analysis is conducted and, most of the time, we understand what caused the incident and how it can be prevented from happening again."
"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 most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"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."
"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."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
