Performance monitoring impacts operations with fast storage setup
Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me. The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage. The Analyzer and the Ops center provide a better solution. Before this, we used a CVP with slow performance. This solution works better than before. The visualization vector in the last version is something we have. It is easy to work with and add the storage type. There is no difficulty in adding it.

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.

Pros

"It was easy to set up."
"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"The real user monitoring and digital experience monitoring effectively track actual user experience with the applications, including page loading, interaction time for both desktop and mobile applications."
"What I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring is that it's easy to manipulate and easy to implement. All solutions have the same features, but what sets AppDynamics Server Monitoring apart is that it's really quick to implement. AppDynamics Server Monitoring has a great interface. As a developer, it doesn't matter whether it's SolarWinds, Dynatrace, or any APM you're using, but it would matter to the customer. A product must be easy to manipulate or use, for example, AppDynamics Server Monitoring, for the customer, but for developers like my team, there's no pressure, even if a solution requires coding."
"We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other, so I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"The most valuable feature is the flow map."
"Everything that AppDynamics yields we use in some way."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support, and I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"The good part with AppDynamics is that you get all three layers, even though there still are some missing links."
 

Cons

"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"I would like to see better dashboarding and an easier way to redefine transaction names."
"I definitely want to see some drill down capabilities, especially at the database layer, because the snapshot gives me up to a certain point where I can see the wait states."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"Specific to our environment here, we use .NET and they have more features for the Java platform."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"The granularity of historic data could be improved."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"My impression of the scalability of the solution is that it is not very scalable. They are not the market leader anymore."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."
"AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature."
"AppDynamics does not usually do monthly payments. They do it on an annual basis, at the very least."
"It could be cheaper. It's a little cost prohibitive. There are so many features that also show a lot of value, but it’s not always easy to justify the cost."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a very expensive product, but if you negotiate well, you get value for money...My company used to make early payments toward the licensing costs of the solution, but now my company has opted for a different licensing model."
"It is expensive. However, our time to recover has been reduced, and this product has helped recuperate costs and provided us with ROI."
"If one is expensive and ten is low price, I rate the product price as seven out of ten."
"The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
