Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues.""The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated.""This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues.""What I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring is that it's easy to manipulate and easy to implement. All solutions have the same features, but what sets AppDynamics Server Monitoring apart is that it's really quick to implement. AppDynamics Server Monitoring has a great interface. As a developer, it doesn't matter whether it's SolarWinds, Dynatrace, or any APM you're using, but it would matter to the customer. A product must be easy to manipulate or use, for example, AppDynamics Server Monitoring, for the customer, but for developers like my team, there's no pressure, even if a solution requires coding.""The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code.""The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues.""The product provides a nice end-user experience.""We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."

"Alerts and episodes are valuable to me.""ITSI's most valuable feature is that it's easy to integrate DLP.""We liked the built-in calculation of health scores.""We have a lot of teams using Splunk and they would be blind without it.""One of the excellent features is the service analyzer, which is truly impressive.""The glass tables are very helpful.""ITSI provides a visual representation of complex tools and context, using color coding and other features to make it easy for anyone at the monitoring or service desk to use.""The most valuable features are the mapping of the entities, which provides a comprehensive analysis, and the service analyzer for thresholding."

Cons
"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation.""An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly.""AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive.""The solution could be more mobile friendly.""The configuration is tricky and requires a lot of tools.""I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries.""The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time.""In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages."

More AppDynamics Server Monitoring Cons →

"The solution should integrate more features in NEAP.""Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources.""Quality-of-life features have room for improvement.""We have problems doing upgrades and operating alternate new versions.""Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users.""Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature.""Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal.""It would be good if an interface was included in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."
  • "The pricing for AppDynamics Server Monitoring in Africa and the Middle East is too expensive, so it's very hard to sell it to customers. If there could be different pricing or package for the region, that would be great. My company pays for the license of AppDynamics Server Monitoring on a per-agent, per-server basis. It's $700 to $1000 per server, and it's paid annually. My company is on a subscription model for the solution. On a scale of one to five, where one is expensive and five is cheap, my rating for the price of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a two."
  • "The solution has a high cost."
  • "AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a very expensive product, but if you negotiate well, you get value for money...My company used to make early payments toward the licensing costs of the solution, but now my company has opted for a different licensing model."
  • "The tool is expensive."

  • "I would prefer that the price be reduced, as it would be easier to implement it and to sell it."
  • "Splunk pricing is high."
  • "The pricing of Splunk is a bit high."
  • "Splunk ITSI is a pay-per-use service that is priced fairly based on the amount of data we use."
  • "Its pricing has been changed as per the market. You get a good support service with it as well. They have 24/7 customer support. There is a portal, and if you are having issues, they are available in order to resolve them. So, its pricing isn't too much."
  • "Splunk ITSI is expensive; however, with the appropriate use case, it justifies the cost."
  • "Splunk ITSI is an expensive tool, and we need to purchase the utility license."
