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.""The interface and user experience could be better.""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.""The pricing falls within the mid-range category.""I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications.""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.""I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."

"We also faced challenges relating to UI development.""It would be advantageous to enhance the dashboard by incorporating sections for monitoring, service health, and a filter for the KPIs.""The data recovery has room for improvement.""We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable.""Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal.""Microservices is the only area where Splunk ITSI can be improved. When things come from one EC2 instance to another, there's a lack of exposure to microservices, so we can't know what's happening. Apart from that, it's doing pretty well.""It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning.""It would be good if an interface was included in the next release."
