Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We are able to correlate performance between tiers."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"It is a stable solution."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"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."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"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."
