"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"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."
"We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
