"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."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
