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:

"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."

"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."

"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
 

Cons

"AppDynamics is a solution that requires extra learning and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, automated reports would helpful similar to have they have in Google Analytics."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for diagnostic purposes. Anyone who is using the solution should be able to infer what that error is about, they should be able to troubleshoot it better."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"The solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
"The quality of technical support has decreased over time with slower response times compared to before."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment."
"The process should be made easier."
"The process should be made easier. It is very complicated, and there is more with NetBackup; it is very difficult for me to oversee."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment. Veritas Resiliency Platform is not very handy for cloud-to-cloud, cross-platform replication."
"The technical support from Veritas is disappointing as they take a long time, often over a month or two, to resolve issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve."
"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."
"The solution is highly expensive"
"The pricing is very competitive."
"The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
"It is a more expensive APM among the competitors, which is fine because it also does a lot more on the auto-detection and the AI side... It is not a cheap product. None of them are. The price is fair, but I could use it on more projects if they had a lower price."
"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
"The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
"The product has a fair price."
