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/oO/f9/S8037XDALT6T.PNGCiscoGreat 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 MephanAppDynamics - 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 UserAppdynamics review2017-06-21T15:00:16.374ZKedron partners with appdynamics to deliver application performance monitoring and business transaction monitoring for modern application architectures in both cloud and data centre.
