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.
Harish Venkateshappa - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful online resources, customizable, and highly effective monitoring
The solution is useful for tweaking. However, there have been some negative experiences, such as limited report capabilities. The only report available is in PDF format, making it difficult for teams managing multiple servers to extract data in Excel format. The speaker recommends that the team improve the report capabilities to better serve users. If there are corrupt files the data can be extracted from them. Anyone who wants to see the performance of memory usage, such as whether it's at 80 to 90 percent, can use this tool. However, other tools can provide this information in two minutes, this tool is more time-consuming and the report it provides is not very effective for practical use. When it comes to reports, the tool falls short. During a recent call, it was noted that while the company has distributed servers across the globe, only the master server can accommodate the reports and events, causing delays. If other servers experience issues, the team cannot view the reporting or tag things, such as for troubleshooting purposes. If this aspect was improved it would be an excellent tool.
