This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions."
"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."

"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The good thing with AppDynamics Databases is that it will give you a pretty good overview of the data, all the database-like tables, long-running queries, jobs running on the databases, and the queries that are taking more time. So, it's at a deeper level with all the database functionalities, and you will get that information. So, it's a pretty good tool in that sense."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors. In addition, for end-user monitoring, sometimes, we are not able to catch all user activities. Because of not being able to follow the user activity from the start to the end, we are missing out on the performance issues."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"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."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
