An excellent application to monitor transactions and keep track of data analytics
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions. So, it shows us the transactions that are coming in, outgoing transactions, and field transactions. So, we had the freedom to customize, and I think that was priceless.
What needs improvement?
Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement. Also, I think it was pretty good for the area I used.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with AppDynamics.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution's stability as a ten out of ten because it is a very stable platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It was scalable on other platforms where we needed to buy licenses because we simply had to customize it again to accommodate whatever we were adding. We didn't use it much since many users weren't using it. It was just for the IT and executive personnel who wanted to view the dashboard. Yeah. So, it was quite easy. Up to 200 users were using the solution.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was quite easy because we were given an option or leverage to ask AppDynamics to send staff members over for training. After that training, they were able to come back and deploy the solution for us. So, the process was quite easy, and they were also offering support. For deployment, we prefer to deploy it on-premises. So, we have it in our DR and production environment. The deployment process didn't take long since it was done by AppDynamics' team, which is quite a big institution.
What about the implementation team?
We did the implementation ourselves, but we had their support virtually.
What was our ROI?
I have experienced an ROI using the solution. So, AppDynamics provides us with details to have a live view of our transactions, especially whenever we're having failures, during which we have a live view of it provided by the monitoring guys. We link it to our MySQL so we can query what transactions are failing or what error they are getting. So we know what the customers are facing from the comfort of our offices. The solution was worth the money.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There were no added costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.
What other advice do I have?
Since it is an excellent application, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. I would suggest others use the products and just make sure that they get in touch with the administrator of AppDynamics so that they can devote their time and energy to learning about it so that they can at least administer the platform properly.
Useful monitoring, scales well, and straightforward implementation
What is our primary use case?
AppDynamics is an APM tool. We use it for application performance monitoring for a financial company. It is an end-to-end monitoring solution for any application and works with different technologies, such as Java and .NET.
The company was able to monitor their transactions with the financial institution to determine where the problems were in a particular brand. The company was satisfied with the performance of the solution.
How has it helped my organization?
This solution has reduced our customer's time to resolve issues.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of AppDynamics is the scalability and monitoring.
What needs improvement?
AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach.
It's an agent-based software that must be deployed multiple times whereas competitors have one agent that can deploy everywhere.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using AppDynamics for approximately six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
AppDynamics is a stable solution, but sometimes the analytics goes down and does not work or customers' addresses do not get collected. However, overall it is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
All of the IT and business staff are using the solution.
The scalability of the solution is good.
How are customer service and support?
The support could improve.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used Dynatrace prior to AppDynamics. The switch was a business decision.
How was the initial setup?
The process of implementing AppDynamics is straightforward, but it ultimately depends on your specific use case. You can easily implement an agent if you have a simple use case.
There is an agent that needs to be copied into the project and actioned to start.
Using it can be somewhat complex as it requires manual configuration, such as when creating a dashboard. If you have a more complex use case, the manual configuration can take a considerable amount of time. Additionally, there is a learning curve associated with this tool, and it takes time to gain expertise. It is not something that anyone can easily configure without investing the necessary time and effort.
It takes three to four months to become an expert in the tool to be able to use it effectively.
What about the implementation team?
To complete the implementation of the solution the staff that have access to production are involved. There are a few people that are needed.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There are other solutions that are better at APM than AppDynamics.
What other advice do I have?
AppDynamics is primarily an APM tool, and if you're looking for end-to-end monitoring and AI ops capabilities, it may not be the best fit. For instance, if you want to analyze transitions, pinpoint failures, and view logs all in the same tool, AppDynamics may not provide a complete solution.
I rate AppDynamics an eight out of ten.
