Improves our application at the code level because of its different performance metrics
They should provide all the information of the NetDiagnostics tool details on the Internet. Or, it will be good if they could upload the configuration and monitoring feature detail videos on YouTube . REST API should be supported from the UI. As of now, it is supported from the CLI . They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI. In next release, I would like to see the application level monitor supported in some way.
Muhammad Zeeshan Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
Dynamic mapping enhances workflows that are user-friendly
One aspect that requires improvement is the agent. Without an agent, gathering sufficient information on applications is challenging. Additionally, the agent sometimes creates performance issues in production environments. If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems. Moving to an agentless solution, like what some competitors are doing, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
 

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
"The GUI can be overwhelming at first to a novice Dev or Ops support person, and the possible root causes of an issue do not bubble up to the first screen you see."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring lacks investment in new technologies like Kubernetes and cloud solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution has a high cost."
"It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."
"It is a more expensive APM among the competitors, which is fine because it also does a lot more on the auto-detection and the AI side... It is not a cheap product. None of them are. The price is fair, but I could use it on more projects if they had a lower price."
"This solution is not the cheapest but it works well. You will end up doing more work with a cheaper solution than if you just spent the extra money on a better solution like this one."
"The licensing cost is fairly high"
"We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"I rate AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring's pricing as seven out of ten. Mobile monitoring is paid based on the number of instances utilizing the mobile monitoring service, which increases as the scale grows. Consequently, your mobile user count can proportionally surpass all other applications."
