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

"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"The feature that I appreciate in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is the intuitive and user-friendly dynamic mapping it creates for workflows."
"The alert mechanism in AppDynamics enhances server management tasks by using agents installed on each server."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"For anybody who is looking into enhancing or improving their application code quality, I would definitely recommend this solution."
"I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions."
 

Cons

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"In terms of improvements we would like to see, we want to understand what the battery consumption metrics are whenever a user is viewing. It would be really helpful for us if we could get those details levels."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial."
"Splunk AppDynamics does not support the complete MELT framework, which includes metrics, events, logging, and tracing for the entire stack. It lacks maturity in correlation within the observability spectrum."
"There may be some older technologies that are still covered, however, it's not as plug-and-play. You can still do it, however, it takes slightly more effort for engineers to cover old technologies such as C++, Delphi, and so on. It still can be done. It's just not as easy as, for example, covering Java."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is expensive."
"The pricing is quite comparable to similar solutions in the market. All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage."
"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."
"It could be a bit lower, but looking at the scalability, functionality, and other things, you can understand why AppDynamics is so expensive as compared to some of the cheaper products that don't have that full single pane of glass they've got. Dynatrace has got three different elements that you need to log into just to get a full view, which is not so good, and because of that, it is a bit cheaper."
"There is no standard license instead, the license is adapted to the organization's requirements."
"It would be better if there were more solutions incorporated into the base price. ​"
"AppDynamics is what I would consider an enterprise-level solution. This means that it's a solution that is intended for use by larger organizations, while small or medium-sized businesses may find it difficult to afford. The number of agents required will also impact the pricing, and smaller companies may only be able to afford a limited number of agents. Essentially, the cost of the solution is not within the reach of every organization, and only some may be able to afford it."
"My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."
