"It is a stable solution."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"I like how the AppDynamics dashboard portrays the information flows. When a task is executed, various flows between different applications and databases happen in the background. The dashboard is intuitive and helps visualize the connections, the directions of the flow, and the information related to these specific sessions."
"After a major incident, root cause analysis is conducted and, most of the time, we understand what caused the incident and how it can be prevented from happening again."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues."
"Command center is a new feature that provides agent maintenance and support without involving the application team. It saves lots of time for APM team."
"The APM tool allows us to monitor performance of that application, where are the pain points, where are the slowdowns, to focus on where we can fix those."
"In terms of stability, it has been stable so far."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for diagnostic purposes. Anyone who is using the solution should be able to infer what that error is about, they should be able to troubleshoot it better."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"This solution is expensive."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly. It’s look and feel is still too technical."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"Dashboards need to be improved in order to make them self-explanatory."
