"The most valuable feature is having our services being available and healthy."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"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."
"AppDynamics has a very broad range of supported technologies, and it's user-friendly. It looks nice, and it's easy to sell the solution to the stakeholders when we can visualize how the website is working. For example, where we have any problems through visual analytics."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"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."
"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."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
