Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable.""The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them.""The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us.""The dashboards are very well-defined.""You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system.""The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system.""The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well.""I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."

"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out.""The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."

Cons
"The product requires high maintenance.""I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility.""It could be more user-friendly for beginners.""This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved.""Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment.""AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture.""I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements.""AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."

"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI.""The interface could be more user friendly.""The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
  • "Pricing is based on the size of the deployment."
  • "There is an annual cost for the use of this solution."
  • "It could be a bit lower, but looking at the scalability, functionality, and other things, you can understand why AppDynamics is so expensive as compared to some of the cheaper products that don't have that full single pane of glass they've got. Dynatrace has got three different elements that you need to log into just to get a full view, which is not so good, and because of that, it is a bit cheaper."
  • "The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
  • "We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."
  • "The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
  • "We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
