3. Mobile App is poorly designed.

4. Costly Product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AppDynamics:

As it pertains to monitoring database transactions, as our application relies heavily on SQL, AppDynamic's monitoring tool made an immediate impact on sorting which ones are slow. The business transactions that we can capture are limited in the sense that our application works where it can't be limited to 200, so we ended having to setup service endpoints to account for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AppDynamics solving and how is that benefiting you?

The IT operations department uses AppDynamic. It provides synthetic monitoring of applications, allows us to see in real time how the various applications installed by servers communicate with each other. This helps us to have control of the connections and allows us to have extract metrics of the number of possible errors between connections. It is very useful to monitor web services and their connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AppDynamics?

Transaction snapshot drill down gives very detailed insight of the transaction that was slow or in error, the call graphs provide the quickest view of an transaction path with time taken at each node and time taken between nodes.

The upsides are baseline comparison against daily/weekly/monthly trends.

Custom dashboards caters the needs of all the teams across every level in our organization.

Violations and Anomalies section is much helpful to view all violations with severity and timeline when we have a major disruption Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppDynamics?

AppD must colloborate with SAP and enable to monitor SAP Cloud Applications.

The downsides are sometimes AppD gave incorrect CPU utilization which then needed fine tuning.

It caused 15 minutes disruption to our business when the AppD machine agents were reconfigured during business hours.

During the troubleshooting underlying error showed more than 90% of the time consumed by AppD agent which was later corrected.

Real time user monitoring browser plugin for SAP cloud applications was causing other issues which prevented the SAP application to work as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AppDynamics solving and how is that benefiting you?

AppD helped to identify that the F5 load balancers were distributing more load to only 2 nodes and remaining 4 nodes were underutilized.

Identified a long running query in the database which lead the developer to identify a code issue by Wipro which caused the user to wait for almost 2 minutes on a C4C screen.

It highlighted the violation by a batch program which was processing 10 times more than the usual records.

Whenever a major disruption is reported by users, it reflected the exact user experience, the timeline and the number of slow/error transactions match with user report Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AppDynamics?

AppDynamics self discovery made it useful soon after installation. The Flowmaps is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppDynamics?

When configuring for multiple regions running identical software products, AppDynamics it time consuming (and boring) to configure all applications the same. This applies to dashboards, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AppDynamics:

Be sure to know what you want. It can be costly to add additional features after the agreement has been reached.

Dedicate staff to the install and administration.

Take classes and/or sign-up for consulting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AppDynamics solving and how is that benefiting you?

On the IT side, AppDynamics provides the quickest notification, sometimes less than 5 minutes) of an issue. Also, also with the flowmaps, one can quickly see if there are any warnings or issues starting or continuing. On the development side, the AppDynamics call stack output is useful in debugging issues.

Benefits - faster time of notification, which leads to faster time to recovery. Also, new releases can be compared with baselines to see if there is any positive or negative impacts due to the release. Paired with Splunk, the duo provides nearly all of our monitoring needs.
