Cons
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive.""The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""Customization requires a few manual tweaks.""This is an expensive solution.""This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case.

More AppDynamics Application Analytics Cons →

"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting.""The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others.""Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus.""They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers.""One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks.""They need a little more self-service.""From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
