Provides you with powerful analysis of your network and business infrastructure
There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations. This situation presents another layer of complexity, requiring approximately 11 feet of additional infrastructure. This is essential for ensuring that applications have minimal latency. In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider.

Root cause analysis has become possible but complex setup and agent issues still slow investigations
The limitations I notice include the instability of the agent, which crashes, and the application itself consuming memory under heavy loads. Additionally, the customizations are not easy to build, especially for new parsers and functionalities that are just supported out-of-the-box. Splunk AppDynamics needs to be more user-friendly so that even someone who does not know what is happening should be able to easily find the root cause of issues, as the tool is specifically designed for application developers, not from a user perspective for problem identification. My experience with the application performance monitoring capabilities of Splunk AppDynamics indicates that it is complex. The correlation from the front end to the back end is not working properly. In an application using the EUM feature and having the app agent, the app agent gives me the transaction data, but the EUM data does not correlate to the backend transactions, and I do not know why. It can be very complex to find the root cause in those scenarios, as there is a disparity in metrics, making it challenging. Even though Splunk AppDynamics is trying, my very large environment presents hurdles that medium-scale organizations might not experience. After spending around three to four years trying to get value from it, I still feel a lack of satisfaction. To get closer to a rating of 10 in the future, I would like to see whatever features are being provided made to work, particularly in large environments. Splunk AppDynamics claims it can do 100 things, but if those things are not functioning cohesively, it is ineffective. Instead of offering 100 features that do not work together, it would be better to focus on a smaller set of features that operate effectively. Changes happen daily with new applications and technologies, and Splunk AppDynamics needs to adapt more swiftly to keep up. The feature that helps detect and protect against vulnerabilities does raise concerns. I experience vulnerabilities in Splunk AppDynamics that I communicate to support for fixes, and they often respond by indicating that some fixes are available in new versions. This creates a continuous cycle of raising issues and waiting for resolutions through version updates.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to Drill down to webpage actions."
"The customers requires redundancy work to achieve a 99.999% uptime. To accomplish this, we installed this solution into storage. This setup ensures that if one node goes down, the system remains operational through another node. So that's the core aspect of the setup. Additionally, the schedule and the rental database run on servers, and behind these servers, we have storage. This storage operates as a single storage cluster, although there might be another storage option that costs around $30."
"Before RUEI came in, the users from production took hours to resolve issues, or couldn't end up finding a root cause."
"ORUEI lets you create a dashboard that shows you insight into the user experience."
"Even if you don't have a QA tool, you can automate a lot of the quality assurance functions through ORUEI."
"The availability of the solution is its most valuable aspect. I can also Google anything I want and upload it on the cloud. I can do that using the mobile app. It is very helpful."
"Customer satisfaction higher than before."
"We previously had an operations team continuously monitoring applications. Now, they just have set things up and our developers can monitor, view, and act on them, accordingly."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that you can easily determine the load on the application."
"The transaction snapshots help me find the root cause of the problem."
"We were able to throw AppDynamics in there, identify the root cause within probably 45 minutes, which took our process time from 33 days down to 18 days, and then a few more efficiencies were found a few hours later, which brought it down to three days."
"When it comes to end-user monitoring (where you want to capture or trend back business transactions, or where you want to really view the performance of the tools), it's not just good in terms of managing your production system, but some of the developers use it to tackle performance issues and get ahead."
"We are so much faster in responding to issues than we've ever been before."
"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."
"AppDynamics has allowed us to find critical memory flaws in our application."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if the solution could be integrated with Outlook. If I'm signing any quotation, any proposal, or any of my communications, I should be able to update that Oracle application as well."
"It is a bit complex for newbie."
"Currently, it monitors web applications well, but ORUEI doesn't monitor mobile applications yet. It would be nice if they also added the ability to monitor mobile apps."
"Licensing is very expensive for this solution."
"There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable.

Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider."
"The application resource usage has increased due to using RUEI."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions."
"The mobile app gets the job done but it's missing a lot."
"Remove all Flash from the product."
"The training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"The granularity of historic data could be improved."
"This solution is expensive."
"I would like to see a better way to automate actions based on the events generated by the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would say the solution is affordable because it is widely used across financial service sectors."
"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."
"There is an annual cost to use this solution. The licensing model could be improved by making it more cost-effective."
"For those who appreciate the value and had issues with the visibility of the performance of their applications, then the pricing is good. For somebody who does not need it, it can be pricey, but overall, it is worth the money which it costs."
"Our purchasing experience through the AWS Marketplace has been pretty painless."
"It is not a cheap tool, but you also save in manpower to setup because it is easy and fast. At the end of the day, I think the revenue is much better. BUT, they have an awful co-term mode of licensing."
"My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."
"We buy the platform's yearly subscription."
