There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"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 dashboards are very well-defined."
"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."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the New Relic APM module to deep-dive into the application, to get bottlenecks to the surface, and to improve application performance. Also, the New Relic Insights module creates a real-time dashboard on application performance to create awareness for the DevOps team."
"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are."
"As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things."
"It offers helpful user metrics so we can learn more about the user experience."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"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."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"Some of our customers see New Relic as a promising product to have, and we would like to deliver it to them. The only way we would be able to do that would be if we had server appliance for clients that we could install in their data centres."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics."
"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
