AppDynamics Reviews

It is very easy to install and integrate with application. It will monitor application API, database and server. We can set alert and email notifications. Also we can trigger script or specific action based on requirements. It is best monitoring tool available in market. It will help to troubleshoot application issue. We can collect all thread dump and analyze to find put application performance issue.

I haven't found any issue yet. It is working preety well.

I like monitoring fuctionality most. For example Database Monitoring, User Experience Monitoring, Performance Monitoring.

We may need extra training to use it effectively as it is not simple to use.

Cloud app service monitoring and SQL DB performance troubleshooting feature

Initial deployment and fine-tuning can be time-consuming, especially in large or hybrid environments.

In AppDynamics, we can collaborate with AWS related resources to view in detail usage of memory, cpu of each nodes

Little bit when we are setting up AppDynamics connection initially

Appdynamics is a great 360 view tool to use for any application environment. I like the application, server and even the network flow monitoring of the application. My best part of the application feature is it drill down capability in determine root cause of an issue.

The setup is not ease and requires a lot of expertise. I also do not like the the fact that every component is billed or must purchase license to use.

Easy to drill down to ground zero, helps in faster triage of transaction failures.

A little complex for novice users. Too many steps to follow

The good thing about the tools is its integration with the load runner tool for performance testing
We can get the exact method and class names from the code which helps in finding the bottleneck

Some flex calls cannot be captured with the appdynamics so cannot be used for the flex coded developed applications. Extra license cost for the database monitoring can be more structured

The functions of projects are great, drill to the issue to root level and this makes it easy to resolve issues.

Slowness, it takes time to respond and granularity of data reduces with time.

It is easy to monitor the server side and client side performance metric.Easy to identify the bottleneck at application and database level.

It adds licenses to be installed as well as the cost brings limitation for use.

Product is easy to interface with - we have numerous monitors DB, Java, .Net and they work well

Setup and configuration are sometimes a pain and usually involves support

AppDynamics provides support for various platforms and offers a relatively straightforward setup process. Additionally, it provides support for personalized monitoring and enables you to effortlessly deploy the necessary components.
AppDynamics boasts an intuitive interface and user-friendly charts and graphs that are readily accessible to individuals without technical expertise.

it seems that you do not currently have the privilege to import AppDBs in order to capture specific items.

Best application to monitor the application servers. Continues monitoring helps to understand the application behavior and outage of the application can be well predicted .

The dashboard layout of the application statistics can be improved for better presentation .

Real time instrumentation with complete drill down analysis for all the transaction our app makes.
This tools makes life easy for not only developer, but Performance engineers, PS and ops team .
Single tool for everything

Customization of alerts and suppression is tricky. No access to get AppD DB for capturing specific things.
Scenario - I want my URL or API to be send in the app d alert but there is no provisioning , i raised ticket as well, but so far no provision. By clicking on errorneous BT and opening in appd resulterd in the errorneous API which is sometime time taking process.

AppDynamics provides real time monitoring. It is very useful for real-time visibility into application performance. We can quickly identify and resolve issues before they impact end-users. It is highly customizable and we can customize based on specific requirements and needs. We can also create custom alerts and dashboards as per requirments. AppDynamics is easy to use, with an intuitive interface and easy-to-understand charts and graphs that make it accessible even to non-technical users.

It is a great tool but little expensive to use. Somewhat complex to setup and configure and may require technical expertise. AppDynamics requires significant computing resources, including memory and CPU, which can impact performance on smaller systems.

We started using AppDynamics in 2012 when we inherited code in production that was built by someone else. The level of insights it provided helped us address the production issues quickly and we started using it for all new development and deployment. It helped us move from being reactive to proactive in identifying and managing issues/ bottlenecks

Like any complex piece of software it requires some learning. However, given the amount of information it generates out of the box it is easy for people not to make changes to configurations. That might result in more noise than news

Automatically discover and monitor applications that are deployed.
Get notified when there are health rules that are violated which you can setup yourself.
Capture errors automatically with certain error codes and error logs.

There are many different tabs and links to click on but most of the time you don't know what they do.
Only use a very small set of features in the overall app due to its complexity

I like that it is really easy to implement, add AppDynamics agent to your code manifest and it starts to monitor your application. Easy to set up triggers for events which should be monitored.

Sometimes for same url applications it tends to not find requests between multiple applications, but give it some time and it should work as expected.

Appdynamics supports many platforms, and it's set up is relatively easy. It also supports customized monitoring, and allows you to build what you need.
