Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues.""The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated.""The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues.""What I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring is that it's easy to manipulate and easy to implement. All solutions have the same features, but what sets AppDynamics Server Monitoring apart is that it's really quick to implement. AppDynamics Server Monitoring has a great interface. As a developer, it doesn't matter whether it's SolarWinds, Dynatrace, or any APM you're using, but it would matter to the customer. A product must be easy to manipulate or use, for example, AppDynamics Server Monitoring, for the customer, but for developers like my team, there's no pressure, even if a solution requires coding.""The product provides a nice end-user experience.""It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good.""The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code.""The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."

"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution.""What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts.""The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup.""It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes.""We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."

Cons
"The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time.""An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly.""In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages.""AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive.""I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries.""The configuration is tricky and requires a lot of tools.""The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent.""Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."

More AppDynamics Server Monitoring Cons →

"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved.""Customized reporting can be improved.""Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved.""Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved.""In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."
  • "The pricing for AppDynamics Server Monitoring in Africa and the Middle East is too expensive, so it's very hard to sell it to customers. If there could be different pricing or package for the region, that would be great. My company pays for the license of AppDynamics Server Monitoring on a per-agent, per-server basis. It's $700 to $1000 per server, and it's paid annually. My company is on a subscription model for the solution. On a scale of one to five, where one is expensive and five is cheap, my rating for the price of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a two."
  • "The solution has a high cost."
  • "AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a very expensive product, but if you negotiate well, you get value for money...My company used to make early payments toward the licensing costs of the solution, but now my company has opted for a different licensing model."
  • "The tool is expensive."

  • "The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
  • "I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
  • "The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
