Pros
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring.""AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications.""We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software.""One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website.""It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base.""We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems.""It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well.""The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."

"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app.""It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application.""It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens.""The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process.""Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it.""We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself.""The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic.""The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."

Cons
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support.""They do not have robust documentation.""I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring.""I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications.""AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites.""AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine.""What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution.""The pricing falls within the mid-range category."

"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product.""It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical.""The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment.""The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime.""The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi.""I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization.""Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views.""It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
