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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."
"Whenever the application crashes from user behavior, we can easily simulate the error. We are happy with this feature and find it to be valuable."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
 

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."

"The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."
