- I was able to track a user request as it moved through the different parts of your application stack with the assistance of AppDynamics' end-to-end transaction tracing feature. This feature aids in pinpointing the precise locations of latency or failure in a transaction, be it in database queries, backend services, or frontend code.
- AppDynamics provides in-depth analysis of my application code's performance. The architecture of the application, including method calls and database interactions, can be automatically found and mapped.
- AppDynamics allows for continuous monitoring and automation throughout the software development lifecycle by integrating seamlessly with well-known DevOps tools like Jenkins, Ansible, and Kubernetes.
- New users' learning curves may be lowered by streamlining the configuration procedure and offering more user-friendly interfaces.
- AppDynamics could be more widely available to users if more affordable options or tiered licensing schemes were offered.
- AppDynamics could automate performance prediction, root cause analysis, and anomaly detection by utilizing AI and machine learning.

- AppDynamics community support is really strong so even if you are not premium member of its product. You can reach out to community regarding your issue and the resolution is quite strong.
- Documentation maintained with each version support is quite good. So make sure if you looking for any kind of implementation do check the version as every new version they release new feature and fix the bugs of previous version.
- Trial product is really good as they provide this option of running controller in the cloud without you getting your hands dirty with installation parts and checking the ports numbers that need to be opened for communication purpose.
- In terms of dashboard I believe there is plenty of room for improvement as it's lacking many advance like searching data within the dashboard is not possible.
- Synthetic monitoring part is still complex and need[s] to be addressed as hosting agents for synthetic monitoring is still [a] challenging task.
- The on premise controller setup requires huge resources and since it's the important component of AppDynamics ignoring it will cause loss of metrics and slowness while capturing metrics.

- AppDynamics automatically creates comprehensive maps of the topology of applications, which include all of the components and their interrelationships, I can quickly identify potential performance bottlenecks and understand how their applications operate.
- Strong root cause analysis feature offered by AppDynamics enables to locate performance issues at their sources fast, this saves a great deal of time and effort when debugging performance issues.
- A large number of other tools, including development monitoring and ITSM tools are integrated, through which we can get a unified view of application performance and optimize the workflow.
- Pay-as-you-go is one more flexible option that AppDynamics could provide to lower costs for small and medium-sized enterprises.
- By offering more instructions and documentation, it could make it simple to set up and use.
- AppDynamics should clarify and condense the documentation to make it better like it could offer more screenshots and code examples.
- They are highly recommended to enhance customer service by increasing team member's responsiveness to queries.

My experience with AppDynamics
- It shows us that which line of code are taking most of the time to execute or which line is not responding, so that we use this information to optimise code for better performance.
- It allows us to actively respond quickly to performance issues, like it sends notification or alert when there is decrease in the response time of application.
- It helps us in identifying the root cause of the issues like which specific query or third party library is causing performance issues, this is very helpful for complex applications with multiple components.
- We have faced challenges while its setup, as due to its complexity, this needs to be improved as initially we have limited It resources for set up and this can be faced by others too.
- It collects a lot of data which ultimately some time results in its low performance and also the performance of the App is decreases,
- The user interface is little challenging , so there should be improvement by providing more step-by-step instructions.
- Identifying problematic queries on databases
- Website monitoring
- Alert generation
- Difficult to setup
- Not the best at Event correlation
- Recurring cost very high
