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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dashboard is a valuable feature."
"This product has improved the performance management of our applications before deploying them to the end user."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"AppDynamics is, in my opinion, far superior."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"We've been able to triage and diagnose problems sooner and proactively tell the teams involved if there have been lags in their performances, so they could look into them before there are any errors in production."
"We were previously using Dynatrace, then we shifted to AppDynamics because it was more convenient."
"The solution's most valuable features are its end-user monitoring and AI functionalities."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
 

Cons

"The solution is pricy and has room for improvement."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"Splunk AppDynamics could improve their installation process, which would be an incredible thing on Splunk AppDynamics' side."
"Sometimes you get anomalies which are hard to explain and sometimes data seems to disappear, but except for that it is generally pretty good."
"Things mostly work well. I would think maybe more integration; pull things together more; integrate this analytics with this dashboard, with that analytics; and so on."
"It's a very complex application, and requires almost a full-time person to be in there working on it all the time."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring does have licensing cost associated with it."
"The pricing for AppDynamics Server Monitoring in Africa and the Middle East is too expensive, so it's very hard to sell it to customers. If there could be different pricing or package for the region, that would be great. My company pays for the license of AppDynamics Server Monitoring on a per-agent, per-server basis. It's $700 to $1000 per server, and it's paid annually. My company is on a subscription model for the solution. On a scale of one to five, where one is expensive and five is cheap, my rating for the price of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a two."
"I would say the solution is affordable because it is widely used across financial service sectors."
"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
