AppDynamics Pros and Cons

AppDyanamics is application performance monitoring and transaction tracking helps Ops team to act quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Required third party tools to be integrated if you need to start or stop the instances monitored by it. Auto healing feature is not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AppDynamics is an excellent solution for monitoring infrastructure, including servers, databases, API endpoints, and business activities. AppDynamics is quite simple to set up; all we need to do is install a client on the infrastructure we want to monitor, and it will connect to the application, such as Spring Boot, by just providing the level. We may specify alerts and exceptions, as well as actions to be taken when triggers are triggered, such as sending emails or executing scripts. A detailed assessment of a transaction's performance allows you to zero in on a piece of code in a line of SQL that is causing a performance bottleneck. We were also able to uncover issues on our web server that were previously assumed to be application problems using appdynamics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has limited power over the infrastructure despite running as a client on the nodes we wish to monitor. It is only used as a monitoring tool, highlighting all of the stars such as memory consumption, disk utilization, and so on. You have no influence over whether or not the instances it runs on start or stop. Instead of relying on an external action to complete these duties, a self-healing feature is required. You can also send an exception but not the body of the request for which the problem occurred for business transaction monitoring. The whole stack trace is not sent as a developer, but the exception class is. To get to the underlying cause of an issue in the application stack, it requires time and patience. On the case of GC, the server is not appearing as available in the dashboard, which is accurate; however, following the GC event, the server's availability should be changed to green, which is not the case.

AppDynamics flow maps are fantastic; the greatest aspect is that everything is shown in a graph and is simple to comprehend thanks to the baseline that we establish based on the various apps and needs, which can also be altered at any moment. time with the hope of meeting expectations We may also customize the alerts to get them from multiple channels, which allows us to know if there is a problem with any program ahead of time. We may also design alternative panels based on our needs, which are frequently quite handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like about appdynamics is that it doesn't show the whole logs like splunk does. For proper log parsing, we have to log into the servers or use splunk if we have it in place. If Appdynamics can solve that, that would be fantastic. Configuring for many regions running identical AppDynamics software packages is time consuming and tedious. There may be more potential for improvement with driver terms. We have had issues with AppDynamics drivers and agents not showing traffic or data, which causes a panic scenario for the support staff.

I enjoy the appdynamics board because it displays data from the application's performance matrix, which helps me realize whether there is a technical problem. Appdynamics assists us in prioritizing the answer to the problem. I really enjoy the Appdynamics user interface since it is simple to use. The granularity of telemetry data and indicators that might depict a developer's mindset is a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Appdynamics is an agent-based solution for several monitoring domains. In the present world, with the DEVOPS mindset, it is impossible to merge the installation of the agent with the custom configuration in the generic DEVOPS pipes. They have several modules that must be acquired, which requires a lot of effort and raises the organization's costs. Assume I want to utilize a module or function that will help me with my job, but when I go to get it, I discover that it requires an internal purchasing license. More effort / labor is required for custom needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very convenient with setting alerts on any abnormality with our servers.

The user can set on which resources to send alerts.

Ease of visualize on our dashboard for quick insights and action to be taken to avoid any future problem.

Excellent with performance tracking on our database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an excellent software with performance monitoring and for now am very contented with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Appdynamics is one of the best Application Monitoring tool, Also it Monitors Databases, Servers. It shows the metrics of server health, disk usage, CPU utilization, Memory utilization, Network I/O, Disk I/O. It displays the server hardware properties, disk volumes, top 10 Process Classes Consuming CPU,top 10 Process Classes Consuming Memory. Appdynamics continuously posts the server and database status by sending alerts, and prepared the reports or us. It automatically discovers .net clr's, php,python, and node.js applications it automaticlly detects customer requests like checking account balences and it traces the transactions.

Nothing much. I observe that the application flow map is messy.

Business tansaction tracking is little slow.

Need to add more troubleshooting options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has one of the best featured that setting alert threshold can be done based on baseline of all the metrics

Easy to narrow down the rca of application code during the problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A manual injection of JavaScript monitoring library needs to be hard coded in to the application code.if application code modifies, JavaScript code also needs to be updated accordingly.

AppD Log Troubleshooting not available in UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In appdynamics we can do prod analysis. Whatever the environment either SIT or STG or production. If we configure Appdynamics for our application we can easily monitor the business transactions. We can do the error analysis. Database calls. We can check the CPU utilisation and memory utilisation of servers during peak hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike. But when I drilldown the slow transaction, filter is not working fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's providing the all the metrics to monitor. Easily we can install it in client software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
