Centralized solution from the analytics perspective and monitors application performance proactively
AppDynamics and the other APM products are really, really much further than other products. So, with this perspective, there are some minor enhancements that can be made, but for the major sites, there is no negative impact or any alternative application. For example, some cosmetic enhancements. We live in Turkey, so we have our currency, we have some number formats, or something like that. Sometimes, we can face issues getting the business metric and using or calculating it because of this format or some locality issue. So, I’m specifically talking about this kind of enhancement to enhance its localization capabilities.
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

"The analytics are great."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"It has been stable, scalable and manageable."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"The solution helps us with performance testing by enabling us to monitor applications."
"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."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"It's pretty stable."
"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 like the prediction features."
"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."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"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."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would like to see some cosmetic enhancements."
"Improvements can be made in the area of AI integration."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"I would like to see how Moogsoft integrates with the multi-cloud and brings out a single pane of glass, to see everything on one screen."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"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."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"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."
