We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well.""The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us.""We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions.""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.""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.""The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system.""What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."

Cons
"The solution needs to support IBM products.""They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution.""The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses.""The product lost its place as an industry leader.""The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it.""AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies.""The solution must improve security and setup.""I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."

More AppDynamics Database Monitoring Cons →

"The solution's automation has room for improvement.""I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning.""I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly.""Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement.""I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."

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 →

  • "The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
  • "There are different types of licenses available."
  • "We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."
