We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems.""The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue.""AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications.""The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring.""One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website.""The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution.""We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software.""The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."

"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.""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.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc.""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability.""I like it that one can match IPs with the application name.""The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code).""Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."

Cons
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine.""AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites.""If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions.""The pricing falls within the mid-range category.""I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring.""What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution.""While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support.""We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."

More AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring Cons →

"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it.""We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods.""It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features.""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.""Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported.""The technical support is not very good and should be improved.""The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This price of this product is expensive."
  • "AppDynamics is more expensive than competitors."
  • "AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring does have licensing cost associated with it."
  • "AppDynamics does not usually do monthly payments. They do it on an annual basis, at the very least."
  • "We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."
  • "The pricing needs to come down."

  • "The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
  • "The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
