Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good.""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.""The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated.""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.""I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics.""This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues.""The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues.""We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."

"The setup is simple.""It gives you remote control and has a mobile app.""It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues.""The solution has great workflow and server modules.""We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."

Cons
"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.""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.""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.""Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases.""The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement.""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.""The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time.""I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."

More AppDynamics Server Monitoring Cons →

"They have good technical support but it's not excellent.""It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop.""There are some bugs or glitches.""GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls.""The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."

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."
