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

"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"Provides monitoring more around business processes versus just servers, applications, etc. E.g., with complex systems, where a business process passes across multiple applications, the business needs us to monitor the heath of the process, not just a segment of the application."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"The UI could use a little help."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
"We do not have any issues with the price."
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"AppDynamics offers a yearly basis license."
"We are looking forward to purchasing the solution on the AWS Marketplace."
"Pricing is based on the size of the deployment."
"AppDynamics is priced on the higher side."
