Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"The most valuable feature is having our services being available and healthy."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"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."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"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."
"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."
"Installation and configuration can be very tough. An average user without specialized knowledge can't do this. You need to have DevOps and QA teams handle it. During installation, a lot of customers get stuck trying to track the database or the API part, and they have to contact customer support."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
