Great visibility, easy to set up, and has very responsive technical support

The visibility and the ability to monitor user behavior are very useful to us. So is the fact that we have diagnostic capabilities. We divided the usage of these two parts - one for our business team and one for our support team where they can see the availability, performance, and application or service updates from a customer perspective. We appreciate that the team can understand the issue from our application, database, code, data integration, et cetera. We like that two different teams can use it and it fits each of their individual needs. Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us. The initial setup is pretty simple. The solution can scale. Technical support has been great.

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

"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."

"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."

"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."

"User session details"

"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."

"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."

"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."

"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."

More eG Enterprise pros

"The analytics are great."

"The ability to check parameters for microservice applications is most valuable. It is important for me. I can manually create new business transactions for applications and individually monitor business transactions. I can also use a lot of extensions. It has a lot of extensions to monitor other third-party applications, such as NoSQL applications, memory cache applications, Kafka applications, and Couchbase applications. It is very useful. We are also using the end-user monitoring site to follow all end-user activities. It is important for us to check the errors on the customer site."

"AppDynamics is easy to implement if you follow the documentation, and the documentation that they provide is good."

"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."

"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."

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

"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."

"The product is stable and the technical support is good."

More Splunk AppDynamics pros

Cons

"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."

"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."

"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."

"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."

"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."

"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."

"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."

"The integration must be improved."

More eG Enterprise cons

"SQL statement monitoring"

"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."

"The limitations are often due to the vendors not supplying all the profiling features to AppDynamics."

"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."

"The one thing that I find it difficult in using AppDynamics is, for any new user, it's not easy for him or her to configure the transactions in AppDynamics because the UI is pretty complex. The configuration is pretty complex for a new, fresh user. They can make the UI simpler, that'll be very helpful for anyone to configure their website in AppDynamics."

"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."

"An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly."

"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."

More Splunk AppDynamics cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."

"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."

"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."

"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."

"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"

"The product is very cheap."

"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."

"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."

More eG Enterprise pricing and cost advice

"We do not have any issues with the price."

"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."

"The pricing for AppDynamics Server Monitoring in Africa and the Middle East is too expensive, so it's very hard to sell it to customers. If there could be different pricing or package for the region, that would be great. My company pays for the license of AppDynamics Server Monitoring on a per-agent, per-server basis. It's $700 to $1000 per server, and it's paid annually. My company is on a subscription model for the solution. On a scale of one to five, where one is expensive and five is cheap, my rating for the price of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a two."

"We buy the platform's yearly subscription."

"AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature."

"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."

"AppDynamics Database Monitoring is expensive. I rate it a seven to eight out of ten."

"The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
