Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."AppDynamics is scalable."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"The initial setup is simple."
"We previously had an operations team continuously monitoring applications. Now, they just have set things up and our developers can monitor, view, and act on them, accordingly."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"Wire data analytics."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"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."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"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."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
