Niranjan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Solution Architect- Security & Privacy at Sify Technologies
Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.
Shamim Alsharif - PeerSpot reviewer
Performance Test Engineer at TANIM CONSULTING, LLC
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 IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"Using this solution enables our users to figure out, within a second, any problems with the application or the database."
"The alert mechanism in AppDynamics enhances server management tasks by using agents installed on each server."
"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."
"Using AppDynamics, we can drill down to the code on which the bottleneck is seen, and the developers can fix the issues, increasing the overall application's performance."
"We have analyzed so many of our APIs and web services; it showed how much data and how many times each and every API and web service is used, and if we can save on those costs and enhance the performance, that's priceless."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"The pricing is very good, and you get good value, especially if you compare it to DynaTrace."
"We have a really close relationship and technical support is really one of the best on the market."
"It gives a complete, end-to-end visualization of an environment, making it easier to analyze any issue in production compared to other APM tools."
 

Cons

"The reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."
"One of the things that we would like to improve a little more is the dashboards. The dashboards are good, but I believe that they could improve even more."
"I haven’t rated the product higher basically because of the synthetic monitoring piece."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"Specific to our environment here, we use .NET and they have more features for the Java platform."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"I think AppDynamics is not really there yet. The scalability should be very easy."
"It could be integrated with more performance-testing tools for more intensive use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"There is an annual cost to use this solution. The licensing model could be improved by making it more cost-effective."
"We find its pricing reasonable and competitive. After it was acquired by Cisco, we found it acceptable."
"The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."
"The pricing needs to come down."
"The licensing cost is fairly high"
"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."
