Helpful dashboard, and the ElasticSearch feature helps to identify problematic components

Savision continuously develops new modules to allow further integration, so the only item would continue with this effort to allow more-and-more systems to integrate into this platform. Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion.

Performance Test Engineer at TANIM CONSULTING, LLC

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.

Monitors traffic, analyzes flows, tracks packets, and measures bandwidth across our network

We use TruView primarily for network performance analysis and monitoring. It helps us track traffic, flows, packets, and bandwidth to understand our network's condition and detect any anomalies or attacks. However, the product's age limits its advanced features for performance analysis. The main advantage lies in its low cost and reliable functionality, as we have a permanent license and do not require support. Real-time monitoring in TruView is somewhat limited, as there is a delay of about five minutes in data updates, making it less effective for immediate insights.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."

"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."

"I've been really happy with it and everything we want it to do, it's done."

"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."

"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience."

"With AppDynamics, we were able to identify where the database query was taking more time, whether it was taking time on logical IOs or physical IOs, and it is also giving proactive alerts that help us to narrow down issues much more quickly and fix them before they start impacting our customers."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."

"The customer service and support are helpful and responsive."

"The analytics are great."

"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."

More Splunk AppDynamics pros

"It gives us the ability to determine the root of a problem or a network, whether it's on the network side, the database, application server, or server infrastructure."

"We use TruView primarily for network performance analysis and monitoring. It helps us track traffic, flows, packets, and bandwidth to understand our network's condition and detect any anomalies or attacks. However, the product's age limits its advanced features for performance analysis. The main advantage lies in its low cost and reliable functionality, as we have a permanent license and do not require support. Real-time monitoring in TruView is somewhat limited, as there is a delay of about five minutes in data updates, making it less effective for immediate insights."

"The most valuable feature for us was the ability to monitor sites and get a nice overview of all the data in a single view."

"Visual TruView helped our network team respond to potential issues before they became larger ones."

"TruView takes only minutes to install."

Cons

"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."

"The initial setup is not easy or straightforward. It's quite complex."

"There are times where we had a couple of outages over the past couple of weeks. Just an hour or two where it was not available."

"The mobile app gets the job done but it's missing a lot."

"Their technical support isn't great. The geographical distance and the response time it takes to respond to emails from the technical team is very slow."

"The resolution time takes longer than expected."

"In terms of improvements we would like to see, we want to understand what the battery consumption metrics are whenever a user is viewing. It would be really helpful for us if we could get those details levels."

"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."

"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."

More Splunk AppDynamics cons

"One area that could be improved is the reporting features. In the version transformation from ten to eleven, the platform changed from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform. As a result, the previous reporting feature using Crystal Reports was no longer available. Instead, we had to generate PDF dashboard reports, which were not as flexible."

"We have faced delays in data retrieval and the lack of support due to the product being out of service."

"Whilst Citrix could be handled better like their nGenius product line (which does an excellent job) it copes with the centralised type of deployment TruView covers."

"I can't give them quite a 10, because from time to time, I'll work with the folks who, not that they're not good, but there are some who are just phenomenal."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"AppDynamics is one of the most expensive solutions on the market."

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

"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."

"It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."

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

"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."

"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
