What is AppDynamics?
AppDynamics APM automatically discovers, maps, and visualizes your critical customer journeys through each application service and infrastructure dependency. Teams have a single source of truth to focus on end-to-end performance in the context of the customer experience, instead of monitoring individual services.

The best performance tracking tool.

What differentiates AppDynamics from other similar products?
Appdynamics is an easy way to monitor the health of any non-critical and mission essential applications, business performance is boosted with the aid of AppDynamics, helps in outage circumstances, and occasionally manually log into the server to verify the status and status of application activities. We use Appdynamics to monitor and guarantee that our applications operate often and without faults, and if an issue is discovered with the aid of Appdynamics, we work hard to resolve it in order to maintain uptime/availability.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
One of the most useful tools for tracking the health of mission-critical IT legacy and non-legacy systems. Each installed software has detailed features, a simple and user-friendly design, is simple to operate, and the functions are properly shown. JVM and node information is accurately given in the portal, including the last reboot time, status, description, traffic analysis, incoming and outgoing details, and error rate. Appdynamics assists us in prioritizing our approach to the situation. A significant advantage is the granularity of telemetry data and analytics that might depict a developer's perspective.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Appdynamics involves the acquisition of multiple modules, which takes time and money away from the firm. Let's imagine I want to use a module or feature that will help me with my job, but when I go to seek for it, I discover that it requires an internal license. Custom demands necessitate more effort/manpower.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend AppDynamics if you need to monitor application performance or any other service. It is simple to use and one of the finest on the market; it allows different languages for automation, so you are not limited to the language. In addition, the benefits you obtain as a user are enormous in my view, and it is strongly advised that businesses adopt AppDynamics as their primary monitoring tool.

One of the best monitoring tool

What differentiates AppDynamics from other similar products?
The AppDynamics Business Observability Platform accelerates organizational transformation in this era of unheard-of digital growth by giving business context throughout the technology stack, bringing teams together around common goals, and empowering engineers to take charge of their own work. Overall, we thought this solution was a good choice for managing IT infrastructure and it fits most of our infrastructure use cases.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
When triggers are triggered, we can specify alerts, exceptions, and actions to be taken, including sending emails or running scripts. You can identify a line of SQL code that is causing a performance bottleneck by performing a thorough analysis of the performance of a transaction. Additionally, we were able to identify problems on our web server that were thought to be application-related.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It takes time and effort to configure for numerous areas running identical AppDynamics software packages. With driver terms, there may be more room for improvement. We have experienced problems with AppDynamics drivers and agents failing to display traffic or data, which puts the support team in a stressful situation.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
We are making an effort to keep track of how all business activities are being used, such as how long it would take to get in touch with a certain API endpoint. Each micro service has a level name, so we can see how the transaction moves via various parts. Additionally, we've developed specific health guidelines to aid the support team in making a decision.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
