What differentiates Splunk 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.
