Splunk AppDynamics Reviews

I primarily use AppDynamics for my servers.

AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically.

AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high.

I've been using AppDynamics for a year.

AppDynamics is stable and reliable.

AppDynamics' scalability is good.

I didn't have a good experience with AppDynamics' technical support. Its knowledge base is locked up and unavailable.

I also work with Zabbix, which has better education and hardware specification, though AppDynamics is more user-friendly.

The initial setup was complex because we had to configure every agent and module, use a specific server for every module, and manage every visual and virtual machine.

I used an outsourced company.

AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature.

AppDynamics forces you to depend on the company to do what you want, which may be a negative if you prefer to work independently. I would rate AppDynamics as seven out of ten.

We use AppDynamics to evaluate an application we were using. The name of the application was called Liferay and it is an open-source portal, and we wanted to evaluate the performance of our application.

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.

I have been using AppDynamics for one week.

AppDynamics is scalable.

I have not contacted support from AppDynamics.

I was evaluating AppDynamics and applications inside Microsoft Azure.

I rate AppDynamics a five out of ten.

We are using AppDynamics Database Monitoring is used as a performance monitoring tool for any application. 

The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good.

AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly.

I have been using AppDynamics Database Monitoring for approximately four years.

AppDynamics Database Monitoring is stable.

We have approximately 30 to 40 end-users using AppDynamics Database Monitoring. We do not have plans to increase the number of end-users.

I have not contacted the support from AppDynamics Database Monitoring.

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

My advice to others is that AppDynamics Database Monitoring is a very good monitoring tool. It would be a good choice.

I rate AppDynamics Database Monitoring an eight out of ten.

The solution is deployed on-premises and on the cloud. It has a software gate in several legacy software, and they have part of the application in the cloud. AppDynamics is able to deliver cloud information.

We have 774 small cities, and all the cities have agencies who use the system. We monitor all of the agencies. There are eight million consumers who access these systems on a mobile device and millions of transactions per day.

We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software. After that, we were able to monitor the application and the flow of the clients in all the software of the company.

The interface and user experience could be better. New products were built after the analysis of the dynamics. After analyzing the traffic, the bottlenecks, and the problems with the database, it's our job to make sure users in our company have a better experience with this solution. Mainly during COVID, there was a high number of transactions. Today, the solution is much better than two years ago.

After we fixed the bugs and bottlenecks, the quality of the software improved. It reduced problems with queries on the database and problems in the browser and mobile application.

I have used this solution for two years.

I'm responsible for the implementation of the dynamics in my company and installing and implementing the database and all kinds of monitoring using AppDynamics.

It's stable.

It's scalable.

Technical support is good.

Setup was very difficult. It took around one year.

There was a team of 12 people involved in the consultant database administration. I don't know the number in the working directory because each system in the company was the responsibility of only one team. There was a team responsible for the system of transformation.

Implementation was done in-house.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. 

I would recommend it for anyone who wants to use it. 

We're a partner and reseller for AppDynamics. We had a bank that we had to monitor from start to finish. We did the bank, and I then moved on to another product, but one of my mates is still busy working with AppDynamics.

Most of it was on-prem. We did some product testing on the cloud, but the client at that stage didn't have much on the cloud. Connecting to a cloud was quite simple as well.

Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better.

The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting.

On the dashboarding side, it's very difficult to do dashboards on the database portion because they don't let you include a lot of the elements in dashboards. They should give a bit more functionality and add more views from the database side. Other than that, all the clients I've worked with are very happy with it. It had everything they needed. No one had any complaints. Only on the application portion, do people get very confused if they're not tech-savvy, but on the database side, you usually work with tech-savvy people. So, the database and the elements are great.

I have been using this solution since 2018 or so. It has been four years.

It is very stable.

If you got the on-prem resource, it's very easy to scale out. If you have the full server resources that you need, scalability is very easy.

In terms of its usage, within the bank, its adoption was very difficult. People didn't adopt it very well, but in one of the telecoms, the adoption rate was very good. They had a team of two to three people managing close to 150 users. It was very straightforward to manage.

I have worked with an IBM solution previously. The main pro of AppDynamics Database Monitoring is user-friendliness. It was very easy to click around and say to the clients that this is what they need. It was all clearly visible and easy to navigate.

On the database side, it was very straightforward. I don't have a lot of database experience, but installing it on them was straightforward. It just takes the information from the sites, manipulates it, runs it as a query, creates the user, and gives it permissions. It is very easy. The only one I struggled with was the IBM Db2 because the bank had very strict permissions to get around, and that wasn't as easy.

It could be a bit lower, but looking at the scalability, functionality, and other things, you can understand why AppDynamics is so expensive as compared to some of the cheaper products that don't have that full single pane of glass they've got. Dynatrace has got three different elements that you need to log into just to get a full view, which is not so good, and because of that, it is a bit cheaper.

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring is an application performance management tool.

The platform itself is divided into different modules, each of which can be enhanced with additional modules. We work with End User Experience Monitoring, both server monitoring, and application performance monitoring.

AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring is used to monitor user experiences when evaluating and deploying applications for the company.

With Dynatrace, AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring is one of the best tools on the market.

There are many features that are very valuable to us, but the ability to monitor the status of the users' experience in real-time is one of them. I can see in almost real-time whether or not our users are having a positive experience when using our applications.

One of the things that we would like to improve a little more is the dashboards. The dashboards are good, but I believe that they could improve even more. 

It would be helpful to have a better way of seeing the status of our applications and we can customize the information that is displayed a little bit more.

I would like to see a better way to automate actions based on the events generated by the tool.

We moved our focus, and I'm now more working with Cisco AppDynamics. AppDynamics is a brand that was recently acquired by Cisco, but it continues to be known as AppDynamics.

I have been using AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring for six months.

We are using the latest version because it's SaaS.

The stability of AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring is very good. It can handle a wide range of applications and traffic.

AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring is scalable.

We have more than 20 people who are managing the application.

The initial setup was completed before I joined the project.

We have a team of three people to maintain this solution, but it may not be enough.

The solution is not free. It does require licensing to be paid.

I recently joined and I am currently working as an external consultant for the team.

Because of the nature of the tool, the main piece of advice is to work in close contact with the developers of the applications that we are monitoring.

We are Cisco partners.

I am very pleased with this solution, but there is still room for improvement.

I would rate AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring a nine out of ten.

It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good.

Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved.

I have been using this solution for around three years.

It is very good.

Its scalability is fine. It is not bad, and it is 60% to 70%. Sometimes, the containerization service and scalability take time.

We have seen an ROI.

If you are managing more than 1,000 servers, it is good to purchase the AppDynamics tool. From the monitoring perspective, it is a very good tool.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

AppDynamics can be used for understanding where the bottlenecks are in your environment, and where your applications are struggling. For example, when you have major data collections, you can easily see in AppDynamics, when you have slow responses.

The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use.

I have been using AppDynamics for approximately six years.

AppDynamics is a stable solution.

The scalable of this solution is relative. I have an issue with the fact that when having a hundred servers, for instance, that's a hundred licenses. Sometimes, from a cost perspective, you might need to decide which 50 do you want to monitor, and not monitor.

We have approximately 5,000 using the solution.

The technical support is great. After you have spent a certain amount with AppDynamics they provide you with dedicated support for your company.

The installation was simple, and it took approximately one hour.

The application owner can install it on their own if they follow the documentation.

There is an annual cost to use this solution. The licensing model could be improved by making it more cost-effective.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate AppDynamics a nine out of ten.
