Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems.""We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software.""The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution.""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.""One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website.""The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring.""The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."

"It's a solid piece of software. It's stable.""The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly.""I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching.""The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure.""The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot.""The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."

Cons
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring.""The interface and user experience could be better.""I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications.""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.""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.""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.""We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings.""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."

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning.""Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement.""I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software.""I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly.""The solution's automation has room for improvement."
