"The most valuable feature is the flow map."
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"It is a stable solution."
"It provides everything into one view, so we can track information from one place to another."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other. I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"It is a very stable product."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"The GUI can be overwhelming at first to a novice Dev or Ops support person, and the possible root causes of an issue do not bubble up to the first screen you see."
"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
