Performance Test Engineer at TANIM CONSULTING, LLC
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

"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The overall impact the tool has had in our environment has been very positive."
"This practice has transitioned our testers to engineers."
"AppDynamics includes a service application map of the call load, response, environment health index, and transactions that are dynamically rated on one easy-to-use page."
"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."
"The key benefits it offers us are that it helps us know the infrastructure and performance issues, as well as if a customer is experiencing latency issues, ahead of time so we can act on them proactively and improve the customer experience."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"I have no issues with the stability of this solution."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
 

Cons

"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"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."
"Specific to our environment here, we use .NET and they have more features for the Java platform."
"Sometimes, while fetching details, Splunk AppDynamics provides answers within a minute, but it can occasionally take seven or eight minutes, which can be problematic when time is limited."
"Every upgrade is a challenge. A big enterprise cannot handle that many releases like that."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The AppDynamtics on-premises platform is immature, and it does not scale."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"I think the only feedback from my team has been that it's not an HTML based UI right now, so it's limited on mobile devices."
 

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 licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"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."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"It is expensive. However, our time to recover has been reduced, and this product has helped recuperate costs and provided us with ROI."
"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."
"I would say the solution is affordable because it is widely used across financial service sectors."
"AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring does have licensing cost associated with it."
