AppDynamics is great for correct APM

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Splunk AppDynamics from other similar products?

To momitor, analyze, and alert on issues with IBM Sterling CPQ, AppDynamics provides APM visibility. With the support of the AppDynamics Customer Success team, our teams were able to take full advantage of the product's essential features.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like how robust AppDynamics is. To monitor a complicated Java-based application running on many host platforms and databases, AppDynamics provides the necessary functionalities.

What do you dislike most about this product?

To properly configure the product, we needed some time to get familiar with it. Default notifications should be adjusted to be less noisy. The help of AppD Support was required to fine-tune the tracking of vital company transactions.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The Oracle database powers our CPQ implementation, which runs on AIX and Linux systems. Our program supports a wide range of operating systems and databases, and there are AppDynamics agents that can handle them all.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Efficient Service
Helps Innovate

AppDynamics is a robust and efficient APM

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Splunk AppDynamics from other similar products?

Excellent knowledge of APM, very useful analytics data captured from mobile devices and browsers, and good details on end-user monitoring for both.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really like AppDynamics. It provides information about the application itself, information about the database side, server monitoring, and most importantly, end-user monitoring. Collect analytical data which is very beneficial.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are some problems, Anamoly detection still lacks quality, support is average, idea acceptance is painfully slow, and Smart Agent can only be installed on certain file systems.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The product is top-notch as an APM solution, however, services and support need to be improved. The only area the team could improve is how they handle new ideas and changes.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Effective Service
