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.

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.

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

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

"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."

"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."

"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."

"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."

"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."

"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."

"The real-time feature provides me with insights into what's happening."

"Splunk AppDynamics' infrastructure monitoring is satisfactory."

"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."

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."

"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."

"I would like to see accommodation for millisecond granularity, as we only have one-second granularity now."

"They are using Flash for their website, which is very slow. We had hoped the website would be much faster to use, and that is definitely what we want to see."

"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."

"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."

"The one thing that I find it difficult in using AppDynamics is, for any new user, it's not easy for him or her to configure the transactions in AppDynamics because the UI is pretty complex. The configuration is pretty complex for a new, fresh user. They can make the UI simpler, that'll be very helpful for anyone to configure their website in AppDynamics."

"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."

"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."

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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I give the price a five out of ten."

"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."

"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."

"There is no standard license instead, the license is adapted to the organization's requirements."

"We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."

"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a very expensive product, but if you negotiate well, you get value for money...My company used to make early payments toward the licensing costs of the solution, but now my company has opted for a different licensing model."

"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."

"The pricing model for AppDynamics could be better. You have to subscribe to a yearly or a three-year licensing, which isn't very handy. The solution is one of the most expensive in the market today."
