Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable.""AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics.""The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it.""Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases.""Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature.""Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better.""AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites.""The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."

"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable.""ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy.""The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple.""ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan.""Its price and the flexibility to deploy are the most valuable. Flexibility is very important, and you can scale from very basic to more complex. This solution is a part of a complete suite of management tools. So, it can be integrated with other solutions for monitoring networks, which is very important. You can expand it or interconnect it with many other tools, which is a powerful feature. We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys. They provide very good support for us.""The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard.""What I like most about ManageEngine Applications Manager is its price point, apart from its technicalities. The solution is cheaper than its competitors. ManageEngine Applications Manager has helpful documentation that makes setting it up straightforward."

Cons
"The user access management could be a bit better.""The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice.""I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements.""The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it.""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 day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it.""It could be more user-friendly for beginners.""The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."

More AppDynamics Database Monitoring Cons →

"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available.""I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services.""The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort.""The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide.""Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics.""They can improve the post-processing of the data. AppDynamics has more powerful tools for post-processing or analytics. It has some limitations in more complex environments, but because we are free to use different solutions, we try to find what is best for the customers or the problem we are trying to solve.""They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things.""The agent often crashes when there is too much load on the application side. If a sudden storm of data comes in, the agent crashes down most of the time."

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."
  • More AppDynamics Database Monitoring Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The cost of this solution is not too bad, although it could be cheaper considering what you're getting for the price."
  • "The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
  • "Its price is good."
  • "The annual licensing depends on the number of monitors you have connected. Once you get to two hundred monitors you can see the price reflect."
  • "ManageEngine Applications Manager has reasonable pricing. It's more affordable than other solutions in the market. My company has an instance-based license for ManageEngine Applications Manager. You can purchase a yearly subscription or a perpetual license. The standard license covers most features, but you can still have some paid add-ons."
  • "The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
  • "Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
