Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.
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

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"AppDynamics is scalable."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other. I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"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."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"The solution is available at an inflated cost"
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring lacks investment in new technologies like Kubernetes and cloud solutions."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"I would like to see accommodation for millisecond granularity, as we only have one-second granularity now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"The pricing needs to come down."
"It is not a cheap tool, but you also save in manpower to setup because it is easy and fast. At the end of the day, I think the revenue is much better. BUT, they have an awful co-term mode of licensing."
"We buy the platform's yearly subscription."
"The solution is highly expensive"
"I would say the solution is affordable because it is widely used across financial service sectors."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"There were no added costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We are looking forward to purchasing the solution on the AWS Marketplace."
