We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""To be honest, it's a fantastic product.""The dashboards are very well-defined.""Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases.""The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security.""The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable.""We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions.""The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."

"It's a solid piece of software. It's stable.""I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching.""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 was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure.""The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly.""The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."

Cons
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements.""The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses.""The scalability could be improved.""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 day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it.""The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it.""The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice.""The product lost its place as an industry leader."

"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software.""The solution's automation has room for improvement.""I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement.""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.""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."

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."
  • More AppDynamics Database Monitoring Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
  • "There are different types of licenses available."
  • "We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."
