Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Centerity is much more than a monitoring tool — it’s a unified, end-to-end, enterprise-class and multi-tenanted AIOps Platform that is purpose-built to help MSPs and data-centers deliver the highest levels of up-time and performance."
"The Centerity gives us exactly what we need from performance system monitoring."
"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"It's one of the best database monitoring solution I've ever seen."
"When it comes to end-user monitoring (where you want to capture or trend back business transactions, or where you want to really view the performance of the tools), it's not just good in terms of managing your production system, but some of the developers use it to tackle performance issues and get ahead."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"AppDynamics has a very broad range of supported technologies, and it's user-friendly."
"AppDynamics is stable and reliable."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"It's pretty stable."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times, and if a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
 

Cons

"One of the major improvements should be it implementation as a SaaS"
"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"The GUI must be improved. Graphs must be changed including high level maps"
"The tool is a little complicated. I think the UI should be more friendly."
"A problem with App Dynamics is that they do not have robust documentation, making it difficult for start-up organizations who may need guidance."
"Part of it is support for more modern languages. Node is lagging behind."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"I recommend choosing Dynatrace over AppDynamics Database Monitoring as it's easier to use."
"Nothing’s perfect."
"The tool is expensive."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We find its pricing reasonable and competitive. After it was acquired by Cisco, we found it acceptable."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
"It could be a bit lower, but looking at the scalability, functionality, and other things, you can understand why AppDynamics is so expensive as compared to some of the cheaper products that don't have that full single pane of glass they've got. Dynatrace has got three different elements that you need to log into just to get a full view, which is not so good, and because of that, it is a bit cheaper."
"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."
"We are looking forward to purchasing the solution on the AWS Marketplace."
"The product is a bit expensive compared to other tools."
"You are required to purchase licenses whether you use it or not. It is not pay-as-you-use."
