• Works great for on-premise and is always maturing and keeping up with industry trends.
• It's been in Garter's Leader Quad for years now.
• Very intuitive web UI and IT, Mgmt, QA, Devs, and Ops could easily use it.

• Transaction tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable.
• Support for PHP, DB, and other applications need to be supported. We have a broad range of applications that we would like visibility into but the list of currently supported applications is very small.
• 9/10 - We had a couple of issues that required opening up tickets. The Riverbed support engineers usually resolve issues in a timely manner.

• AppDynamics has given us the ability to identify and isolate issues much faster. Without it, engineering and dev ops would spend much more time in literally searching for issues. With AppDynamics we have become much more effective overall in identifying issues and resolving them.
• AppDynamics has also provided support teams a single dashboard where all of our tiers are monitored for performance. At any given time anyone can take a look at the dashboard and see how our environment is performing.

• This product has really wonderful features and one of the most valuable ones is the transaction searches into TTW.
• This will show you the operations that occurred under conditions that the user specifies, giving you the opportunity to drill down on the things that are more important and affecting system performance.
• Besides that, the capability of analyzing each individual transaction captured to a very low-level detail (method call/line of code). This ability empowers the testing teams to provide more visibility to developers on how they can improve.
