Himanshu Sarda - PeerSpot reviewer
Good tag and follow features and is easy to expand but is also quite expensive
Before beginning, a new user should take time to understand the product. They need to analyze a few options and see which best fits their use case and go with that. There are many on the market to look at, including DynaRisk and DataDog. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides strong event correlation features, but its initial setup should be made easier
The solution's integrations are out of the box, and it is easy to integrate the tool with many technologies through its APIs. Moogsoft is always deployed on the cloud. Since it's a SaaS-based solution, it's cloud-delivered but also deploys to a hybrid or on-premises situation. The solution attaches itself to any environment size, but it's delivered via SaaS. The solution has room for improvement, but it's a pretty good technology. It does very well in delivering a big impact for businesses. Now, since it's owned by Dell and has the financial backing, it'll go from strength to strength. It's built by two very experienced co-founders who have used this type of technology before and were very much ahead of the curve. I'm still implementing the solution, and it is a platform that can deliver to something as big as HSBC. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"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."
"It has been stable, scalable and manageable."
"The solution helps us with performance testing by enabling us to monitor applications."
"The analytics are great."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"It's pretty stable."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"The solution is extremely helpful with correlating IP failures and it has a very good sort of flow chart of IP systems. For example, if you see a failure in system A, you can track it down to the system causing the issue. This is a very handy feature."
"I find the unsupervised learning algorithms for noise reduction particularly valuable. The algorithm's ability to identify and reduce noise is a feature we initially liked. The anomaly detection feature is excellent for maintaining system uptime as it helps identify problems quickly."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
 

Cons

"The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"Improvements can be made in the area of AI integration."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"The product roadmap doesn't align with our roadmap."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"The tool needs to improve its support. It appears that the support responsiveness from Moogsoft is not aligned with the severity of the incident. Instead of proactively addressing issues, customers have to chase Moogsoft for resolution. In Moogsoft, unlike other tools like Splunk, the process follows a step-by-step sequence. You need to start each process in a specific order, typically following a sequence."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."
"The license fee for Application Analytics is in the range of 2.5 million over three years, with extra fees for service contingencies."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
