Very good real-time monitoring capabilities, deep problem diagnosis, and transaction mapping
As for areas of improvement, AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. This would allow the tool to automatically analyze and correlate application performance and behavior data to detect patterns and anomalies not evident to users. Additionally, the ability to track performance in multi-cloud environments would be valuable as many organizations are adopting hybrid cloud or multi-cloud strategies. In terms of additional features, it would be beneficial to include a capacity management module that allows operations teams to proactively plan and adjust capacity, avoiding performance issues related to lack of resources.

Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It is a stable solution."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later.​"
"AppDynamics is one of the most expensive solutions on the market."
"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."
"The product is a bit expensive compared to other tools."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."
"Because it is priced per JVM, the price can increase pretty fast, into the millions. We have had challenges because we had to justify the price to our clients, as well, when we are putting in certain tools."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
