"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"The initial setup is simple."
"We're a large organization, so we appreciate AppDynamics' wide coverage. It may not work in all areas, but it has broad coverage. We can use the same dataset for different use case aspects. That is the beauty of AppDynamics. You can coordinate APM, EUM, and infrastructure through one dataset."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."

The dashboard is intuitive and helps visualize the connections, the directions of the flow, and the information related to these specific sessions."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"The report writer in TMON is a very good add-on for batch reports which weren't available in OmegaMon/CICS."
"If it can be able to intelligently provide all the things we need to look at, from a data point of view, that would be very useful."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"When you have high stress of visits I do not know if you are more stress because of the amount of visits or because you have to wait eternal 60 seconds to find out it things are going well or you already have mess."
"We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload."
