I use JenniferSoft to monitor the performance and transaction traces of our applications The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to divide the authorization of users because a lot of the people in our organization have different authorizations. The dashboard is a valuable…

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 dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems, and we have alerting on all of our business transactions, which makes it very easy for us to keep our applications stable."
"Technical support is the best thing with AppD."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"Quicker turnaround on finding/resolving issues or improving performance, which leads to improved client experiences."
 

Cons

"The solution is pricy and has room for improvement."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"The solution is available at an inflated cost"
"Charting is cumbersome; inability to do decimal fraction arithmetic in expressions (for alerts), so everything has to be done in % rather than as natural fractions."
"I would like to see some more work done for custom extensions. I don't think that there is enough support in that aspect."
"Once in a while, we've had some hiccups around the UI being slow, but that typically gets resolved pretty quickly."
"It is slightly higher on the pricing front, but it is very reliable."
"I would like to see accommodation for millisecond granularity, as we only have one-second granularity now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"You are required to purchase licenses whether you use it or not. It is not pay-as-you-use."
"There is no standard license instead, the license is adapted to the organization's requirements."
"There is a license for the solution and we paid approximately $2,000. There is also an additional cost above the standard license which cost us approximately $3,000."
"We find its pricing reasonable and competitive. After it was acquired by Cisco, we found it acceptable."
"The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
