"From the performance management side, I like everything from business transaction work to tracking. On the database side, we can get a lot of insights from the database. On the server monitoring side, it helped us a lot to find out some of the issues on the VM side because VMs were creating a little trouble for us."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"Power packs."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
