Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers

As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.

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

"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."

"The most valuable feature is mapping."

"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."

"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."

"The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated."

"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."

"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 most valuable features of AppDynamics is the scalability and monitoring."

"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."

"From the performance management side, I like everything from business transaction work to tracking. On the database side, we can get a lot of insights from the database. On the server monitoring side, it helped us a lot to find out some of the issues on the VM side because VMs were creating a little trouble for us."

"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."

Cons

"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."

"Reporting is sometimes a little slow."

"The pricing could be improved."

"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."

"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."

"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."

"It's very complex regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Splunk AppDynamics."

"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."

"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."

"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."

"The initial setup is a bit complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."

"There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve."

"AppDynamics Database Monitoring requires a license for database monitoring and other features, while Dynatrace provides monitoring and other features out of the box without additional costs. Sometimes this makes it more challenging to pitch AppDynamics Database Monitoring to customers, especially because you need to buy a separate license. As an implementer, I have yet to learn about the pricing for AppDynamics Database Monitoring. Pricing is taken care of by the sales team."

"Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later."

"I was not involved with the procurement of AppDynamic, but I believe it's expensive."

"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."

"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."

"It does require licensing to be paid."

"Yearly payments have to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution. The solution has no additional costs apart from the licensing costs."
