Good application performance features along with a very simple and tool navigation
The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses. We are not getting any details from the AppDynamics Database Monitoring portal. AppDynamics Database Monitoring's agent details must be enhanced, so each agent needs to show what kind of technology is being used. I would like to have agent details from AppDynamics Database Monitoring. We are not getting related information and agent details from AppDynamics Database Monitoring. For example, if we have one hundred APM licenses and have onboarded multiple applications, there are no details about which technology uses which kind of agent. Other solutions have one agent that gathers information on all kinds of server components. However, with AppDynamics Database Monitoring, we don't have any universal solution related to application instrumentation, server performance, stats, server component stats, and service stats. We would like to have better server components.

Offers a great reporting experience, with much customization and flexibility in extracting reports but it can be more user-friendly
My experience indicates that it needs enhancements in the UI. We are in 2024, and the GUI doesn't meet current expectations for user interfaces or Excel integration. Mainly, CA Service Desk has such a bad user interface. All features and systems, like servers, should have a modern graphical user interface, but CA Service Desk remains classic and still uses a desktop-based interface. It doesn't add features easily; if you need additional functionality, you have to go through many steps. Competitors like ServiceNow, Micro Focus SMAX, and ManageEngine all have better user interfaces. This is the main solution that needs improvement. I am very satisfied with the modeling systems, the grid, and the existing features, except for the graphical user interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"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."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"The good thing with AppDynamics Databases is that it will give you a pretty good overview of the data, all the database-like tables, long-running queries, jobs running on the databases, and the queries that are taking more time. So, it's at a deeper level with all the database functionalities, and you will get that information. So, it's a pretty good tool in that sense."
"All solutions from Broadcom are very easy to install."
"The technical support and documentation are quite good."
 

Cons

"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"The UI could be better. When I look at the dashboard, for example, the information looks cluttered and unorganized."
"They lack support and presence in Egypt."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
"Pricing is based on the size of the deployment."
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"AppDynamics offers a yearly basis license."
"We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring requires a license for database monitoring and other features, while Dynatrace provides monitoring and other features out of the box without additional costs. Sometimes this makes it more challenging to pitch AppDynamics Database Monitoring to customers, especially because you need to buy a separate license. As an implementer, I have yet to learn about the pricing for AppDynamics Database Monitoring. Pricing is taken care of by the sales team."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. So, it is rather cheap."
