What differentiates AppDynamics from other similar products?
Code level visibility. Dynamic baselining. Powerful alerting. Visibility and control. Quick installation and there are many more.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Browser and mobile real user monitoring is awesome
What do you dislike most about this product?
In terms of dashboard I believe there is plenty of room for improvement as it's lacking many advance like searching data within the dashboard is not possible. Synthetic monitoring part is still complex and needs to be addressed as hosting agents for synthetic monitoring is still [a] challenging task. The on premise controller setup requires huge resources and since it's the important component of AppDynamics ignoring it will cause loss of metrics and slowness while capturing metrics.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Sometimes, we are not able to install machine agent as that consumed memory and have some overhead. So consider this this thing.

What differentiates AppDynamics from other similar products?
It's quick and simple to learn, and this is where many rivals fall short. Nobody enjoys working with a tool that is sluggish or difficult to understand or utilise. Databases, network, enduser, application, logs, and Docker are all covered. It also produces outcomes. By proactively engaging with AppDynamics, we were able to nearly totally eliminate issues at Oracle. In the warroms, no other instrument has shown to be as useful.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
As I've been using this tool for the last year, I've seen that it has a lot of potential to manage and enhance the monitoring experience using AI or next-generation tools like moogsoft and others. This application offers URL tracking, event monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, and many other features, all of which are quite strong.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The synchronising with older technology is a touch sluggish, and the cost is a tad on the high side. There is a minor learning curve at the start. At first, the dashboard's data presentation seems perplexing, but with practice, you'll grow used to it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The solution may be used to monitor a wide range of application environments. To different tiers of audience, provide in-depth visibility into your application's performance. However, be sure that the use cases for log and network monitoring are valid.
Pros
- Trustworthy
- Inspires Innovation
- Respectful
- Altruistic
