AppDynamics from the company of the same name in San Francisco is an application performance management and mobile APM offering.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/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 TwitchellAppDynamics 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 UserEasy 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 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 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 Mephan
