Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"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."
"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."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"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."
"The scalability could be improved."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
