In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work.

The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application

The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked.

That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace.

Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality.

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 Cons review quotes

I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need.

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.

I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer.

I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area.

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.

If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool.
