"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"AppDynamics has been stable."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"

"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
