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."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"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."
"The good thing with AppDynamics Databases is that it will give you a pretty good overview of the data, all the database-like tables, long-running queries, jobs running on the databases, and the queries that are taking more time. So, it's at a deeper level with all the database functionalities, and you will get that information. So, it's a pretty good tool in that sense."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
 

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"The solution's pricing could be improved and made more competitive."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"The discovery is acceptable, however, users need to configure many things if they want good discovery."
