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 machine learning feature is valuable."
"The Centerity gives us exactly what we need from performance system monitoring."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"There are many features that are very valuable to us, but the ability to monitor the status of the users' experience in real-time is one of them."
"The features of Splunk AppDynamics that I prefer most are the monitoring aspect, making sure we can drill down and find problems."
"There are so many tools in the market, depending upon the criteria and what you want, I would definitely suggest AppDynamics, because of the REST things and all of that."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"Since we have implemented this solution, it is going smooth and we are getting positive feedback from customers, consultants and everybody else."
 

Cons

"The GUI must be improved. Graphs must be changed including high level maps"
"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."
"Part of it is support for more modern languages. Node is lagging behind."
"I would like to see a better way to automate actions based on the events generated by the tool."
"The alerts and proactive monitoring need work; I have found it very cumbersome to set up meaningful rules, which has led us to use the tool as a reactive tool instead of a proactive tool."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors."
"We want a single monitoring tool; we don't want thousands in there because right now I am discarding analytics monitoring tools."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not a cheap tool, but you also save in manpower to setup because it is easy and fast. At the end of the day, I think the revenue is much better. BUT, they have an awful co-term mode of licensing."
"As a technical person, and as an application development team, they all understand that this is the right tool for us. But when it comes to budget and financial matters, it takes days and weeks to convince upper management to buy this tool. So they should do something more on licensing costs."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring requires a license for database monitoring and other features, while Dynatrace provides monitoring and other features out of the box without additional costs. Sometimes this makes it more challenging to pitch AppDynamics Database Monitoring to customers, especially because you need to buy a separate license. As an implementer, I have yet to learn about the pricing for AppDynamics Database Monitoring. Pricing is taken care of by the sales team."
"I would say the solution is affordable because it is widely used across financial service sectors."
"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."
"It is expensive. However, our time to recover has been reduced, and this product has helped recuperate costs and provided us with ROI."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
