Public bank is implementing AppD to monitor almost all of their applications, from mobile to data center. with only few weeks of starting to monitor the applications, it has find a bunch of applications errors that would be difficult to be detected by operational team, and some of these errors were impacting the main business of the company. It is really amazed by the power of AppD and how it will help them to deliver the best customer experiences.
  • find errors on applications that would be hard to find for the operational and dev team
  • monitor the business insights of the applications
  • currently, is monitoring the bank transfer
  • AppD has some disavantages for cloud native applications, comparing to some competitors
it is well suited to monitor applications of big companies, and the most impacting point, it can monitor the business insights directly from the applications.
  • business insight
  • help dev team to find errors

We are using it to monitor our nodejs environments. We want to understand as we develop our code and new methods to understand the impact on performance and view the process timings. We also want to clearly see if there are memory leaks. We want a single pane of glass to visualize all pieces of the environment. We tried to use Logic Monitor but it was limited in its abilities initially and required a lot of customization to give a limited view into our application environments.
  • execution time and percentage for process stack
  • clear monitoring of memory usage and details to help troubleshoot
  • application flow maps give a good picture of the inter-dependencies in the app
  • Synergy with Logic Monitor which we use for our infrastructure monitoring.
  • a fair amount of continual configuration to prevent false positives
  • There are a lot of technologies that App Dynamics covers and documentation is a bit of a weak spot in finding clear documentation, configuring dashboards, etc.
It handles auto-monitoring / configuring a dynamic performance set point that doesn't require manual configuration and the perspective is more end to end which from one perspective is good because you get a view of the whole application end to end but there is less focus than on actual response time to the end-user and detailed breakdown which is in some sense the ultimate purpose of performance monitoring.
  • dynamic performance setpoints based on load levels
  • auto-discovery and mapping
  • Full stack analysis
  • total and percentage execution times

  • Immediate ROI in finding many performance gains, immediate customer improvement in response time
  • Deeper insight into long term issues such as slow memory leaks
We actually have different development teams using both of these tools currently. They are both very good at providing application monitoring. They in some ways have the same flaws. App Dynamics seems very focused on the end-to-end evaluation of the application and New Relic seems more focused on end-user metrics. New Relic is easier to configure but App Dynamics offers more automated monitoring setpoints which is a big plus.

  • process stack timing/monitoring
  • memory leak monitoring
  • overall performance metrics and deviation due to code changes.
  • Finding code issues that were unknown at the time
  • trace monitoring to show detailed changes to the code and their effects
  • We are looking to expand it to other development stacks for other product lines and standardize it as our app monitoring solution
  • want to create closer synergies between Logic Monitor and App Dynamics for correlating events.
  • potentially use it for new kubernetes environment monitoring.
its working for us, we are familiar and comfortable with the tool and its proven valuable/indispensable in helping evaluate our code.

We created a database platform window for specific databases that we need to monitor. This application [will] monitor the current activity, provide statistics relating to the data base, and provide info on the total number of executions that have been preformed. It monitors activity on our Oracle Database.
  • Gives you end to end visibility into your applications.
  • Lets you monitor all your databases.
  • Lets you monitor your infrastructure.
  • Need more tips and tricks.
  • Need more tutorials on how to use the product.
  • Need more insight as to how that product can be used.
This product is great if you need to have a dashboard that will give you information in real-time about the health of your databases. This product is well suited for applications that involve very large data volumes, where performance management is essential when you are constantly rolling out new updates.
  • Unified Monitoring.
  • AppDynamics Documentation.
  • Monitoring tools.

  • Helped to deploy applications faster.
  • Able to save money on buying new servers.
  • Needed less tech support.
  • NEC Express5800 Fault Tolerant (FT)
AppDynamics is a much better product than NEC Express 5800 Fault Tolerant (FT) . AppDynamics is also easier to use than NEC Express 5800. AppDynamics was also less expensive to implement than NEC Express 5800 and it also took less time to get this tool up and running in our environment.

Kedron partners with appdynamics to deliver application performance monitoring and business transaction monitoring for modern application architectures in both cloud and data centre. [We are] delivering solutions for highly demanded distributed, dynamic and agile environments.
  • The in production focus is helping IT operations in real world situations.
  • Monitor, troubleshoot and report on complex application issues to increase end user experience.
  • Speed up MTTI by up to 80%.
  • Set up can take a long time
  • Cost model is mostly suitable for enterprise grade companies not indie developers
  • Could support more languages
  • Dashboard can be hard to understand without training
[It's] trying to solve the gap between driver and end of application and customer and end of application and its integration and synchronisation so the status of a vehicle can be known to a client at any moment of time during the journey.
