User-friendly and provides good response time from the end-to-end server

We are not using the alerts as we have different mechanisms called resilience testing or kiosk testing. The DevOps team uses the alerts. During production, they will get alerts when they see the CPU utilization going beyond the 60% or 70% benchmark they have set. AppDynamics and Dynatrace are the only two tools that provide accurate or stable end-to-end response time. These two tools can show you everything that's going on from the back end. If we are doing performance testing or any testing, these two tools can provide us with every detail about what's happening in the back end from the server side that we can't see. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Reduced our administration and rack space significantly, with everything in one box

Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters. If we were able to manage the whole data center from the single pane of glass, it would be more helpful. I think that would help all customers. Also, Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation is limited right now to AHV clusters, meaning only Nutanix clusters. If it could integrate with all my infrastructure, I would have a pane of glass where I could manage my whole data center, including microsegmentation. They really need to extend its features beyond the Nutanix infrastructure. That is the one thing I would really like to see improvement on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The alert mechanism in AppDynamics enhances server management tasks by using agents installed on each server."

"I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the response time from the end-to-end server."

"The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."

"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."

"The correlation feature available with AppDynamics Server Monitoring is absent in other competitive solutions"

"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."

"The product provides a nice end-user experience."

More AppDynamics Server Monitoring pros

"Resource monitoring is the most valuable feature."

"Has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console."

"The storage management is one of the best."

"Because in my role I create a lot of reports, it is very handy to be able to show the customer, "This is your cluster. At the moment, you are using this much CPU, this much RAM, and this much storage." I can give them information on what they're using, how many VMs, and the amount of data they're using."

"Prism Central is a single point to manage every cluster. Everything can be managed in one panel. Everything is there on the main page of the dashboard."

"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."

"Simplicity, automation, and efficiency are some good areas associated with the tool."

"Prism is easy to scale."

Cons

"An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly."

"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."

"The configuration is tricky and requires a lot of tools."

"The solution’s setup is a bit complex."

"In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages."

"The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent."

"The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time."

"The solution's pricing could be improved and made more competitive."

More AppDynamics Server Monitoring cons

"I would like to have some cluster management tools included."

"Performance metrics and analytics could be improved."

"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."

"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."

"One problem I faced when creating a VM and adding a hard disk to is that Nutanix Prism did not allow me to reduce that VM's hard disk."

"The licensing cost has room for improvement."

"One thing I would like to see is one-click migration. I know that's on the roadmap, but we don't have it yet."

"The replication we have does not have any backup systems built-in. We have to separate license records for backup, like onboard. We would like to have this in a future release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."

"The tool is expensive."

"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."

"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."

"The pricing for AppDynamics Server Monitoring in Africa and the Middle East is too expensive, so it's very hard to sell it to customers. If there could be different pricing or package for the region, that would be great. My company pays for the license of AppDynamics Server Monitoring on a per-agent, per-server basis. It's $700 to $1000 per server, and it's paid annually. My company is on a subscription model for the solution. On a scale of one to five, where one is expensive and five is cheap, my rating for the price of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a two."

"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a very expensive product, but if you negotiate well, you get value for money...My company used to make early payments toward the licensing costs of the solution, but now my company has opted for a different licensing model."

"My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."

"The solution has a high cost."

More AppDynamics Server Monitoring pricing and cost advice

"We have spent a lot of money on the Nutanix solution with Prism. Yet, for this amount of money we could be buying high-end storage with a lot of IOPS and bandwidth, even more than with Nutanix."

"Nutanix Prism is affordable. It depends on the category of license you select. They have multiple options, and we selected the one that was suitable for our infrastructure and requirements. The licensing model worked for us."

"I consider it a worthwhile investment."

"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."

"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."

"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."

"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."

"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is around $10,000 for a two-year license."
