Pros
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly.""The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us.""The product is stable and the technical support is good.""The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues.""AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology.""The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security.""You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system.""AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."

Cons
"The product lost its place as an industry leader.""Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5.""The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it.""The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it.""The product requires high maintenance.""It could be more user-friendly for beginners.""I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility.""Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."

"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively.""The user interface was not good."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
  • "Pricing is based on the size of the deployment."
  • "There is an annual cost for the use of this solution."
  • "It could be a bit lower, but looking at the scalability, functionality, and other things, you can understand why AppDynamics is so expensive as compared to some of the cheaper products that don't have that full single pane of glass they've got. Dynatrace has got three different elements that you need to log into just to get a full view, which is not so good, and because of that, it is a bit cheaper."
  • "The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
  • "We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."
  • "The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
  • "We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."

  • "I would rate the pricing a nine to ten. It is very expensive."
