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.

Has enabled us to detect issues instantly through alerts and monitor every service from a single dashboard
Splunk requires significantly more improvements compared to Splunk AppDynamics, specifically regarding the licensing aspect. Splunk renews licenses every six months, which is inconvenient. It would be better to have a one-year license to avoid needing to update keys constantly, which can only occur on weekends, making it a burdensome task. Although Splunk is better for certain use cases, Splunk AppDynamics is broader in functionality. Specifically, I want enhancements related to creating dashboards not only for logs or minor services but also for configuration levels, allowing us to check configurations immediately without manually opening the entire code when exceptions arise—a feature I wish to see improved in Splunk, although it may not be necessary for Splunk AppDynamics.

Pros

"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"It was easy to set up."
"It was easy to set up."
"The alert mechanism in AppDynamics enhances server management tasks by using agents installed on each server."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the response time from the end-to-end server."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
 

Cons

"The dashboard needs improvement."
"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"Product-wise, everything is good, but the main concern is the extensions and their documentation, particularly for the installation of Azure app services."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"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."
"There are certain limitations with the agents in the solution"
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"The way the agentless monitoring and agent monitoring get used is to be decided by the user, but there is no clarification on the setup phase or on how and why to use the aforementioned options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For those who appreciate the value and had issues with the visibility of the performance of their applications, then the pricing is good. For somebody who does not need it, it can be pricey, but overall, it is worth the money which it costs."
"It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."
"There is a license to use this solution. However, the clients pay for the licenses we are the service provider."
"AppDynamics is more expensive than competitors."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve."
"It could be cheaper. It's a little cost prohibitive. There are so many features that also show a lot of value, but it’s not always easy to justify the cost."
"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
"There is an annual cost for the use of this solution."
