Improves our application at the code level because of its different performance metrics
They should provide all the information of the NetDiagnostics tool details on the Internet. Or, it will be good if they could upload the configuration and monitoring feature detail videos on YouTube . REST API should be supported from the UI. As of now, it is supported from the CLI . They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI. In next release, I would like to see the application level monitor supported in some way.
Muhammad Zeeshan Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
Dynamic mapping enhances workflows that are user-friendly
One aspect that requires improvement is the agent. Without an agent, gathering sufficient information on applications is challenging. Additionally, the agent sometimes creates performance issues in production environments. If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems. Moving to an agentless solution, like what some competitors are doing, would be beneficial.

"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We do not have any issues with the price."
"The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring is expensive. I rate it a seven to eight out of ten."
"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."
"We are looking forward to purchasing the solution on the AWS Marketplace."
"The solution has a high cost."
"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."

Mobile monitoring is paid based on the number of instances utilizing the mobile monitoring service, which increases as the scale grows. Consequently, your mobile user count can proportionally surpass all other applications."
