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.

Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

Pros

"It was easy to set up."
"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."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"I've been really happy with it and everything we want it to do, it's done."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"Splunk AppDynamics helps us in identifying bottlenecks and providing fine-tuning recommendations."
"After installation of APM, we realized the value within five or ten minutes."
"As a general rule, though, AppDynamics is something that we really can't operate without; even in the case of when we had a pretty big network outage earlier this year, where we weren't able to see the controller from our desks."
 

Cons

"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"I would like to see better dashboarding and an easier way to redefine transaction names."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"The initial setup is not very straightforward, so it takes some time to complete."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"They do not have robust documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
"The licensing cost is fairly high"
"The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
"It is a more expensive APM among the competitors, which is fine because it also does a lot more on the auto-detection and the AI side... It is not a cheap product. None of them are. The price is fair, but I could use it on more projects if they had a lower price."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
"The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"The tool is expensive."
