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

"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"It was easy to set up."
"It was easy to set up."
"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"This product has improved the performance management of our applications before deploying them to the end user."
"The good part with AppDynamics is that you get all three layers, even though there still are some missing links."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."
"I like how the AppDynamics dashboard portrays the information flows. When a task is executed, various flows between different applications and databases happen in the background. The dashboard is intuitive and helps visualize the connections, the directions of the flow, and the information related to these specific sessions."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"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."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
 

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."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"I went through the Power User training, and it was kind of like drinking from a fire hose."
"Sometimes, we do have performance issues on AppDynamics. The metrics take a long time to load."
"We're struggling a little bit with the way it auto-configures the various endpoints and how to work it."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is an annual cost to use this solution. The licensing model could be improved by making it more cost-effective."
"I was not involved with the procurement of AppDynamic, but I believe it's expensive."
"The tool is expensive."
"There is a license to use this solution. However, the clients pay for the licenses we are the service provider."
"We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"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."
