Provides monitoring and reporting with limited features and room for dashboard improvement

I would rate scalability five out of ten. I did not use it extensively. I cannot evaluate all the components as we have a limited license, allowing us to test only a few areas. That is why I cannot rate areas with which I am not familiar. We monitor limited components with this tool and need licensing for integrating third-party components. Therefore, evaluating those areas is not possible.

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

"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."

"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."

"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."

"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."

"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."

"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."

"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."

"The dashboards are very well-defined."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy since a separate machine is required, and it is not directly installed on a database as it is a type of proxy."

Cons

"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."

"The dashboard needs improvement."

"I do not have any notes for improvement."

"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."

"The way the agentless monitoring and agent monitoring get used is to be decided by the user, but there is no clarification on the setup phase or on how and why to use the aforementioned options."

"The infrastructure is not as good as other solutions."

"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."

"When you have high stress of visits I do not know if you are more stress because of the amount of visits or because you have to wait eternal 60 seconds to find out it things are going well or you already have mess."

"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."

"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."

"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."

"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace was good."

"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."

"AppDynamics is what I would consider an enterprise-level solution. This means that it's a solution that is intended for use by larger organizations, while small or medium-sized businesses may find it difficult to afford. The number of agents required will also impact the pricing, and smaller companies may only be able to afford a limited number of agents. Essentially, the cost of the solution is not within the reach of every organization, and only some may be able to afford it."

"It is a more expensive APM among the competitors, which is fine because it also does a lot more on the auto-detection and the AI side... It is not a cheap product. None of them are. The price is fair, but I could use it on more projects if they had a lower price."

"We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."

"I believe there was probably an extra charge whenever I wanted to contact the support team."

"You are required to purchase licenses whether you use it or not. It is not pay-as-you-use."
