AppDynamics is great
What do you like best about the product?
As an admin, I appreciate the ease of use. it's expandable to many diff types of apps. It's easy to drill down and get visibility into an issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licenses are cumbersome to use/apply/and check how many available licenses you own! Please improve this process for on-prem appD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use for in house software development and application usage monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product
Using AppDynamic as an APM for a web based membership survey application
What do you like best about the product?
Application response metrics are probably the most useful part of this tool
What do you dislike about the product?
That is only takes a sampling of transactions making it impossible to use as a tool to troubleshoot a particular user experience. Also their support of deployment and ongoing support has been a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were hoping to leverage the tool to isolate user experience issues but found that it really could not do that, at lease in their SAAS offering. Perhaps an on prem deployment might have been a better choice.
Very user friendly APM tool with great analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Easy intuitive UI with BiQ/Analytics is certainly a great value add for this unified monitoring solution. The deep dive diagnostic capabilities what AppD offers is simply the best considering the fact that it covers the complete stack (APM, database monitoring, Browser/Mobile End User Monitoring, Infrastructure/server level monitoring, network) as well as the ability to monitor the latest technologies in the market via AppD extensions.
What do you dislike about the product?
No centralized license management server - we have multiple instances of AppD set up onpremise but then due to the absence of centralized AppD license management server, we had to shuffle/swap the licenses as per our need and we need to apply individually on those on-premise instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying bottlenecks on what is causing the Application slowness or error is is the problem that we intend to use AppD for, which is no longer a time consuming task with AppD's snapshot functionality which also auto suggests the potential issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very simplistic tool which provides great value add for the application dev and testing teams to deep into what is causing the application performance issues and to have good analytics visualization for the business/executive leadership to have the holistic view on what is happening on the application. Also, it provides the unified monitoring solution wherein you can have the visibility into the infrastructure, network, database as well as other new technologies (via its extension)
Excellent Cloud monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
Enterprise level monitoring with Cloud capabilities including AWS and Azure
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs planning with multiple teams to implement the solution, is a large project for first time implementation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise level Cloud monitoring
Great monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to see quickly what is going on for any set of servers is crucial to supporting our applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of things that can be configured to improve the monitoring. It is hard to know how deep we need to go to get the most out of the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved application performance by being able to see where the code and database issues are. We have used AppDynamics many times in diagnosing specific performance problems and resolved them due to the output it provides. Seeing problem trends before they become user problems is another benefit we've been able to realize.
One of the best APM tools in the market
What do you like best about the product?
Disclaimer: We are in the evaluation process.
As part of the evaluation, we've been able to test out a few tools on the market and AppD stood out the best. The best part of AppD is the presentation of the info it gathers. It aggregates the relevant info into a single flow and presents it in a tab with the ability to drill down further. It is most helpful in presenting it to the management as we go thru' the evaluation process.

What do you dislike about the product?
Disclaimer: We are in the evaluation process.
There is a bit of learning curve to get the hang of the tools features as it has a lot of them. Also perhaps the pricing is a bit on the high side when you have several hundreds of servers to monitor.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Disclaimer: We are in the evaluation process.:
Our application is very data intensive and straight out of the box, AppD was able to pinpont some pain points we hadnt noticed. Certain queries that required optimization as they were being called several million times, essentially doing a lot of I/O on the DB server.

Easy adaptation, easy monitoring at one glance
What do you like best about the product?
AppDynamics is a very good tool and we use the APM to monitor much of our systems performances. Being able to customize the dashboard was a plus point to me and allowed me to configure it to the way i prefer.
We like AppDynamics for its highly configurable solution and ability to supports all the major technology stacks which is a beneficial to us.
Very satisfied with the tech support provided by AppDynamics as they are responsive and knowledgeable. Their frequent updates and fixes are excellent too, showing that they listen to the users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Despite the easy implementation of AppDynamics and the sufficient documentations available, the documentations are at times, confusing and require some time to fully understand. The pricing of AppDynamics is on the steep side as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using App Dynamics, we are able to monitor our systems and conduct various stress test to sieve out the choke point and rectify them and improve our efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make full use of the free trial and their tech support to fully understand how it can benefit your company. However, if you are looking for a budget solution, you would be better off looking for something else.
