"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"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."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."

"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"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."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"It could be even more automated."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."

My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
