The transition tracing and user experience are good, but performance degrades past 3,000 or so agents

The Kubernetes cluster agent has not yet matured. That's one area that requires a lot of improvement. You have two options for implementing the Kubernetes agent. One is deployed in DocCloud, but you can't download those images from DocCloud for security reasons at most organizations, so this option isn't that useful. The installation for the second option isn't that user-friendly. Transition tracing for the Kubernetes application is challenging. You have to navigate to a new set of user interfaces in AppDynamics, so that's the pain point. There is an icon you need to click on to get a newer user interface.

Helpful dashboard, and the ElasticSearch feature helps to identify problematic components

Savision continuously develops new modules to allow further integration, so the only item would continue with this effort to allow more-and-more systems to integrate into this platform. Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."

"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."

"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."

"Applications: This provides us insight into how our applications are performing within our environments and affords us the ability to identify opportunities and make changes to code / environment to effect positive performance lift."

"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."

"Technical support is helpful."

"The release management capabilities are great."

"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that you can easily determine the load on the application."

More AppDynamics pros

"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."

Cons

"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."

"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."

"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."

"The resolution time takes longer than expected."

"I am not very impressed with support. The service could be better."

"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."

"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."

"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."

More AppDynamics cons

"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly payments have to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution. The solution has no additional costs apart from the licensing costs."

"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."

"We do not have any issues with the price."

"AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature."

"I would like more flexible pricing: A pay-per-use model, rather than just a fixed-price model."

"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."

"It could be cheaper. It's a little cost prohibitive. There are so many features that also show a lot of value, but it’s not always easy to justify the cost."

"As a technical person, and as an application development team, they all understand that this is the right tool for us. But when it comes to budget and financial matters, it takes days and weeks to convince upper management to buy this tool. So they should do something more on licensing costs."
