Featured Reviews

Bratislav Petkovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Performance monitoring impacts operations with fast storage setup
Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me. The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage. The Analyzer and the Ops center provide a better solution. Before this, we used a CVP with slow performance. This solution works better than before. The visualization vector in the last version is something we have. It is easy to work with and add the storage type. There is no difficulty in adding it.
Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Application performance management and error resolution improved with data-driven insights
Dynatrace has multiple functions compared to Splunk AppDynamics, so Splunk AppDynamics should add those functions, which are not available as of now. Dynatrace has a universal agent that collects all information related to their CI, and if one CI has multiple languages, then there is no need to instrument multiple agents. However, Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application. Splunk AppDynamics should work with Dynatrace with one single universal agent that works with all application languages, eliminating the need for multiple implementations.

Pros

"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"It was easy to set up."
"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"It was easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"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."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The customer service and support are helpful and responsive."
"The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
 

Cons

"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"The discovery is acceptable, however, users need to configure many things if they want good discovery."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."
"We buy the platform's yearly subscription."
"Yearly payments have to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution. The solution has no additional costs apart from the licensing costs."
"We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."
"The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
"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."
"If one is expensive and ten is low price, I rate the product price as seven out of ten."
