"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."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."

"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"It's a Microsoft native tool, so it works well with other Microsoft technologies, which is predominantly what our customer end-user base is."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"You can scale the product."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"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."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"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 monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
