What differentiates AppDynamics from other similar products?

We utilize AppDynamics to monitor infrastructure, apps, databases, real-time online and mobile monitoring, synthetic, analytics, BIQ A, and AiOps to keep our important systems monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. On the IT side, AppDynamics delivers the quickest warning of an issue (often in less than 5 minutes), furthermore, with flow maps, one may instantly observe whether any cautions or difficulties are beginning or continuing. The AppDynamics call stack information is important for diagnosing bugs in development.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Flow maps are wonderful, and AppDynamics autodiscovery makes it useful quickly after installation. One of the most useful aspects is the ability to express data in many ways. If you are a developer, for example, the granularity of the telemetry data and the metrics it might reflect to a development mentality is a tremendous benefit. However, if you are a businessperson seeking a technical degree of detail, the way critical business data, such as in business transactions, is presented in a comprehensible manner is a major benefit.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Appdynamics is an agent-based monitoring solution for a variety of monitoring domains. In the contemporary world, with a devOps perspective, it is challenging to integrate agent installation with custom configuration in generic devOps pipelines in a multi-tenant environment. There is a rationale for this, and that is to provide renters with personalisation. However, these can only be done during the installation process, not afterwards. As a result, maintaining a generic installation process that covers everything is difficult.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

According to Gartenr Quodrant evaluations, AppDynamics is a market leader in the APM business. Furthermore, based on my personal experience, the benefits you receive as a user are enormous. It is strongly advised that enterprises adopt AppDynamics as their primary monitoring solution. However, be sure you know exactly what you want because adding further features after an agreement has been struck might be costly. Dedicate personnel to installation and administration, and enroll in classes or sign up for consulting time.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity

What differentiates AppDynamics from other similar products?

We keep an eye on the server's and the application's health using our health graph. As a result of the graphical representation of your obvious concerns, we have network warnings set up as well. Monitoring the performance of production servers and debugging the performance of applications Our program is complex, requiring teams to manage the full application stack and many integration layers, Appdynamics provides us with a comprehensive image that eliminates several obstacles to solving important issues. With the help of Hazelcast Distributed Cache, we created a caching solution, and several nodes are now active for various microservices.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AppDynamics is a fantastic tool for keeping track of business operations as well as infrastructure like servers, databases, and API endpoints. Installing an AppDynamics client on the infrastructure we want to monitor is all that is required for it to connect to the application, such as Spring Boot, by just supplying the tier. The notifications are incredibly simple to personalize, and everything is displayed graphically. Before a customer is impacted by server or network problems, we constantly watch for them. Using AppDynamics, we were also able to find problems on our web server that were previously thought to be application problems.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Despite being a client operating on the nodes we want to monitor, it has no control over the infrastructure. We can only log in to the server or use Splunk to inspect the log; there are no other choices. If you can also offer such service, it would be great. We have occasionally encountered blank charts as a result of internal problems. It merely serves as a monitoring tool, emphasizing all the positive aspects like memory use, disk utilization, etc. Whether the instances it runs on start or cease is unaffected by it. A self-healing mechanism is necessary so that these duties can be accomplished without the assistance of outside forces.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Appdynamics is an excellent option for swiftly troubleshooting application performance and monitoring issues that might otherwise need a significant amount of time and effort.

The dashboards we create allow software developers and administrators to quickly monitor systems and applications.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AppDynamics is one of the world's greatest application performance monitoring tools, its use for monitoring IIS traffic is commendable. We can thoroughly investigate any issues that arise or may arise in our apps. We can tackle issues before they develop by spotting circumstances that may generate difficulties early on. Furthermore, we can rapidly monitor our apps using end-user dashboarding, analytics, and monitoring. It enables a synthetic tracking of our programs, allowing us to view how the many applications deployed by the server connect with one another in real time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

AppDynamics agents can abuse server resources which can cause problems. The cost of the license is on the high side, overall I liked the features it offers which helped me solve many problems.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
