(1-25 of 59)- 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.
With AppDynamics end to end visibility is possible.
- 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.
