AppDynamics is an APM and Mobile APM program, with application mapping and predictive capabilities. These capacities enable automated remediation and code-level diagnostics in real time. It can be deployed on-premise or as a SaaS.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/hZ/ym/T8PX1OTL52BX.JPEGCiscoAppDynamics - A deep dive into your application data2019-03-19T01:44:28.148ZWe use AppDynamics to gain insight into our application through the view of the endpoint which can be a web server, SQL Database or our storage systems. Since AppDynamics relies on an agent to process the information it can access the network, and application stacks, to give us in-depth information about the way traffic is being passed to/from each server and allows us to dig deep into errors that we cannot find any other way.,Giving a network map of our application that shows where slowdowns are occurring and where network traffic is running into a bottleneck.
We are able to gather node-specific information that shows the number of sessions a web server or even Redis session statistics.
We use AppDynamics to give a holistic view of our application allowing us to quickly narrow in on problems.,The user interface can be a bit challenging to use and configure for specific things.
Some of the performance graphs, such as CPU usage across many servers, can take some considerable time to set up whereas the same graphs can be compiled very quickly with another monitoring tool like Splunk.
I wish there was a way to show more performance graphs of trend lines, where you could mouse over one graph and show stats across all graphs in one dashboard.,8,With the ability to draw lines of traffic between subsystems we have been able to narrow in on problems very quickly.
Being able to see exactly where slow connections are happening, and from multiple sources, has allowed us to focus on a specific subsystem quickly and keep our application performance up for our customers.
While the dashboards can be difficult at times to configure, they can provide very useful information for specific portions of our infrastructure.,Splunk Cloud and Datadog,Splunk Cloud, GitHub, Octopus Deploy, Datadog, JIRA Software, Scality, Neustar WebMetrics, EdgeWave ePrism Email SecurityTyler TwitchellEasy adaptation, easy monitoring at one glance2019-04-05T16:05:53.633ZOur application is very data intensive and straight out of the box, AppDynamics was able to pinpoint some pain points we hadn't noticed. Certain queries required optimization as they were being called several million times, essentially doing a lot of I/O on the DB server.,A lot of information about your system is provided, performance wise.
Clean and intuitive interface and allows users to get information with just one glance.,The learning curve is relatively steep due to all the advanced features which my business requires,8,We reduced manual work to give the live support for application like is there anything going wrong with the application on live.Verified UserAppDynamics Review2019-01-16T19:31:36.440ZSingle pane viewing of what matters most. The simple click of a button and I can view infrastructure response, user "click thru" i.e. completes in a weekly/monthly report that takes minutes instead of hours to create. We were able to view what percentage of users visited/clicked thru with the device and time of day. We were also able to see their drop point. Immediately saw a trend and got our app team on it. After that, we saw an almost immediate uptick with our business partners.,What sold me was the agent-less monitoring of the databases so we could actually see in real time what days/times we needed to apply additional CPU resources.
Provides complete visibility on the application's performance (Application Monitoring), database performance, and infrastructure performance ranging from 1 day - 1 year.
The level of insights it provided helped us address the production issues quickly and we started using it for all new development and deployment. It helped us move from being reactive to proactive in identifying and managing issues/ bottlenecks,Price of the AppDynamics is high. But it has many valuable features. This makes it difficult for small businesses to enter.
Functionality is overkill for most small to midsize businesses (SMBs). When stacking up product units, it can get pricey for enterprises as well.
With fine granular configs and customizations available, it will also mean that it is very complicated and requires a certain amount of knowledge before we can make full use of all features in the product. Much careful thought and planning is required to get the most of it. Set-up will be longer. One recommendation is for features to be better documented.,8,AppDynamics is helping many applications by identifying the performance issues and bottlenecks so that they can be fixed to improve application performance, reduce resource utilization, and memory leaks.T his in-turn provides a cost benefit to the organizations and customer satisfaction.
We can analyze large amounts of data quickly and it helps us spot upcoming issues before they have happened. This means we can be safe in the knowledge that our network is going to run without any problems which is extremely important to a business.
Monitoring app usage and error reporting. AppDynamics can also help you drastically cut down the time spent looking for the source of an issue, it can then help towards preventing a repeat of the same problem.,Datadog and Dynatrace,DatadogVerified UserGreat at finding bottlenecks and easy to use2018-04-06T15:50:45.333ZWe used AppDynamics originally for application performance monitoring of our custom websites and applications. We didn't know where the slow-downs were happening. The up/down way of monitoring wasn't enough for us, so the slowness, machine learning and baselining was really nice. Seeing successful, yet slow transactions really helped us find problems. It was nice to see the "inside-out" view of our apps.
This was an added service, so though it wasn't fully deployed, we used it across various departments for a variety of applications.
Seeing user experience was also very helpful. We purchased the end-user monitoring portion of it to capture "outside-in" and marry that with the previous view from the APM portion.,Integration with multiple frameworks (Java, NodeJS, .NET, etc). Good database monitoring tool as well as end-user and synthetic user monitoring tool.
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.,SaaS is developed prior, then on-premise. We have reasons to need all of it on premise. They stay in step pretty well, and will fulfill promises to deliver. Sometimes, a new functionality is available only in SaaS until it's available for on-premise (2-8 months later depending)
It's not a real-time monitoring solution. There's a 90 second delay. That wasn't a problem for me, but I had a few that had issue with that.,8,It's had a good ROI and solved some problems we've been working on for a while.,New Relic APM,Splunk Enterprise, NagiosVerified UserAppDynamics - excellent application monitoring with a steep(ish) learning curve2017-08-30T15:38:16.999ZAppDynamics is used to provide application performance monitoring for our ecommerce booking website and external APIs, providing a valuable tool to ensure the application is working as it should, particularly in terms of performance - especially response time, etc. Alerting from AppDynamics is used to ensure any production issues are dealt with swiftly and it is also used for error monitoring and analysis.,AppDynamics provides an excellent overview of all the interactions between all of your various applications, providing a high-level view of the overall health of the whole application and any interactions or elements that are unhealthy can be seen from here.
AppDynamics focusses on Business Transactions, rather than overall application or server performance, meaning you can quickly see if one part of the system is not working as it should, meaning production issues are shown clearly as isolated problems (if they are) rather than overall application health problems.
AppDynamics provides excellent functionality with regards to tracing coding exceptions - errors can easily be drilled down to the method or line of code that is problematic.
AppDynamics is hugely flexible allowing very fine grained configuration and customisation.,It's just so complicated - it takes a while to get to grips with and needs careful thought and planning to get the most out of it. AppDynamics do provide excellent support for this though and will guide you.
It doesn't list out enough Database Transactions in the APM licencing model.,9,AppDynamics isn't cheap, but it definitely helps to ensure our applications and APIs are up and running without issue. The alerting is usually good but occasionally mixed, for example sometimes flagging a single error as a critical issue since the API is usually completely error free.
The cost saving in terms of trouble shooting and analyzing issues in production is fantastic - to know about issues before they are reported by customers enables you to be proactive in resolving them and ensuring maximum up time for our applications.,New Relic APM, New Relic Insights, New Relic Browser and Dynatrace Application Monitoring,New Relic APM, SoapUI NG Pro, Sitecore Web Content Management, Progress SitefinityVerified UserThe Rolls Royce of APM2017-08-01T20:01:12.169ZAppDynamics is being used as an application performance monitor spanning a multi tier cloud based environment which serivces up to 2000+ end users. AppDynamics is used to identify bottle necks and performance issues within our application as well as provide real time hardware stats for each of the constituent pieces of hardware within our cloud environment.,The user interface is brilliant, especially the map showing the flow of network traffic between your various pieces of hardware being monitored.
Easy to identify slow running queries.
Quick and easy to set up.,It is quite pricey, though does provide a lot more detail than other APM providers.
Traversing the call stack through multiple application layers can get confusing at times.,6,No noticeable ROI as such but that's mainly down to our application type. E-Commerce organisations and similar would benefit hugely.
Did provide us early visibility of failing calls which got stuck in a loop and spammed some of our servers.
Positive impact in terms of highlighting slow running queries.,New Relic APM,Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Team Foundation ServerRich MephanAppDynamics, it's got you covered.2016-07-21T16:26:57.925ZAppDynamics was introduced to help point out any parts of our products that might not be running as smoothly or as efficiently as possible to help maintain a 100% up time of our products and provide the best possible service to our customers. AppDynamics is designed to be as user friendly as possible for people of any any level of proficiency with technology. This allows for different departments within the company to utilise AppDynamics for things from analytics to monitoring hardware to potential threats.,AppDynamics presents its information in an easily digestible way to allow as many people as possible to gain the benefits from it.
Quick and easy visualisions of problem areas.
The ability to delve into each problem and follow through the exact journey from start to finish.,The initial set up for some parts of the features could be better documented.,7,Being able to see potential chokepoints throughout all of our systems helped from day one to optimise key areas.
The relational diagram for each system actually shown somewhere helps identify what relies on what.,,Google Analytics Premium, Bamboo, JIRA Software, Skype, WMSAdam RooneyPerformance Sleuth2016-09-19T16:21:27.321ZAppDynamics is used by our application developers to check the performance of their code before it goes into production. They can check if there are any issues, and if found, find out exactly in the code where they are. That targeting provides for very quick resolution, and thus quicker time to market.,Check code for slow performance

It has helped us detect application bugs, hardware problems (based on trends) and network issues within our network. Currently, our supply chain is using AppDynamics.,It provides a break down of trends based on a baseline. This gives you an idea on how the application is performing.
The ability to drill down and look at the application code is extremely helpful.
The application has the ability create its own baseline, which by far is one of the best features.,Functionality on certain features such as reporting.
Features on alerts that are out of the box.
Lack of documentation regarding upgrades and new features.,10,It has had a positive impact because anytime there is an issue, we go to AppDynamics first to see what the root cause could have been.
We have been providing transaction snapshots to vendors for troubleshooting.
So far, I have had nothing but positive feedback from other team members on the functionality and how other team members are using the application.,AspenOne Supply Chain Management,Manhattan Associates Inventory Optimization, Splunk, Java Reporting EngineVerified UserAppD Great Features Poor Support and Stability2016-05-06T17:19:48.123ZAppD is used by our operations department to track and identify issues in our SOA web services stack written in .Net.

Additionally we have created custom graphs which provide telemetry on our crucial tiers. This is composed of error rates, response times and load for our middle, web and backend tiers.,Real time data on the performance of our environment via customized graphs.
Isolation of errors using the tool.,Search function. As of now we need to drill down through the tiers in order to get to a specific section. A search function via keyword would make drilling down much faster.
A historical view function where you can overlay a WoW (week over Week) view. This would provide value when creating custom graphs. An overlay of WoW can give a comprehensive view of performance and allow for comparison and validation of issues.,10,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.,Splunk, HP OpenView, Orion Network Performance Management, System Center Operations Manager and IBM Tivoli NetCool/OMNIbusVerified User
