"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"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."
"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."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"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 major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"The price could be improved."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
