AppDynamics helps us conduct root cause analysis when performance problems arise by combining data from several application infrastructure components. We can identify the precise source of errors or bottlenecks, regardless of whether they come from database queries, external dependencies, or application code, thanks to features like transaction tracing and code-level visibility. We can quickly identify and diagnose problems because AppDynamics gives us real-time visibility into the performance of our applications. We track important metrics like throughput, error rates, response times, and resource usage in every tier of our application stack.

AppDynamics is one of the best application performance monitoring tools out in the market which gives you end to end visibility about application stack, infrastructure. Since it is been used by different teams for troubleshooting different issues like performance tester for identifying bugs like memory leakage, performance enhancement. For developers code optimization before realising it in the production environment and for production support folks it's quite handy tool for resolving critical production issue hence reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR). AppDynamics is a single platform with different modules to discover the stack of application or infrastructure.

AppDynamics enables me to rapidly determine the underlying cause of performance problems by tracking transactions through the application's multiple tiers. With AppDynamics, I can dig deep into particular source code and transactions to find performance hotspots and maximize their effectiveness. This assists me in identifying places where I can optimize database queries or debug code. Like a hawk, AppDynamics monitors and records exceptions and errors. We are able to recognize trends, identify reoccurring problems, and stop them before they disrupt our users.

As an Engineer, without a doubt, I know AppDynamics is one of the best application monitoring tools that we use to monitor our apps, datasets, and servers. I like how this tool shows the metrics of server health, disk usage, CPU utilization, memory utilization, network, and Disk I/O. It also continuously posts the server and database status by sending alerts, which helps us to make data-driven decisions. Overall, my user experience has been great regarding this tool, providing all the metrics to monitor efficiently. The price is relatively cost-effective.

In our hospital, we deal with multiple numbers of patients; the count even reaches more than 1.2K, and maintaining every data and smooth performance in our hospital Appdynamics plays a crucial role in it. Appdynamics provides real-time entry into CMS and other operational performance software, allowing us to identify or address the issues that can impact the patient or administration. We can monitor everything from the beginning, like the flow of patients in the hospital by registration, billings, or diagnostics. It has been an all-way solution to our complex hospital operation.

Mainly it's used for application monitoring, as all APM tools. The scope in our case to track performance issues, whenever our app has any issues or downtimes.Moreover we setup alerts for the downtime prevention. And personally I use it for user experience monitoring by looking on the insights of customer journeys.

  • AppDynamics gives me a complete picture of my applications performance, complete with real-time metrics in depth traces and applications topology maps. I can quickly locate and fix performance bottlenecks in my applications with the help of this information.
  • Application errors are automatically detected and reported along with stack traces, root cause analyses and suggested corrective actions. This increases the dependability of my apps and helps me to swiftly fix application errors. I optimize using AppDynamics granular insights into the performance of my applications. It allows me to pinpoint resources-wasting code, sluggish database queries and needless resources.
  • With real-time metrics, in depth traces and application topology maps, it gives us a complete picture of the performance of their applications, so that we can identify areas for improvement and gain insight into the performance of the applications with the help of this visibility.
  • The scope of my use is quite extensive, to keep an eye on and control the performance of every application in my company, I use AppDynamics. This covers back-end systems like database and applications servers in addition to mobile and web applications.

AppDynamics is the best application monitoring solution I have ever tested. Been using for over a year and very impressed with the amount of configurable dashboards and alerting options. We mainly use it for website and SQL monitoring and it has proven very useful in detecting bad code and queries that were slowing down the SQL.

I am using AppDynamics for the last 2 years to monitor and manage payment gateway server system for my client. The criticality of the project lead us to get this monitoring suite implemented for monitoring purpose. This software suite (AppDynamics) is the perfect tool for me which I am using for monitoring a tri-platform combination of AWS-Azure & On-premises. This is my 2nd project of such kind, the implementation was quite smooth, after which it was handed over to me and my client for Production.

I have advised and supervised the implementation of Cisco AppDynamics to one of my clients in Hyderabad location in India. My client wanted a strong software suite to gain real-time visibility into the performance of their "Dynamics365" customer support applications used for handling tickets, progress tracking, real-time updates, and other customer interactions.

My client is one of the top 10 Support Service Providers in India. With AppDynamics APM features for monitoring the health and performance of critical application host, such as their customer relationship management(CRM) system, Employee Monitoring System(EMS), and some of their own Private customized applications. AppDynamics sets up performance baselines and thresholds to detect anomalies and excessive resource usage.

Apart from that AppDynamics is configured to send alerts to my clients' IT team when predefined performance thresholds are exceeded, with the help of which their IT team responds promptly to resolve the issue and meanwhile can engage in other critical tasks.

AppDynamics is used to monitor more than 150 applications. When problems are detected, alerts are sent to show our agents where they should act. AppDynamics is used in the headquarters of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and I believe all the company's headquarters have the same monitoring objective with scalable metrics. Data centers are also scanned with this software, obtaining the same satisfactory results as with APPs.

AppDynamics is used throughout the bank, monitoring over 100 different applications from small ( 100 nodes). There are over 100 dashboards used daily and alerting is sent out to the relevant people when a problem is detected. The application owners use AppDynamics on a daily basis to troubleshoot and diagnose when there are problems. From my point of view I am basically an advisory role to help empower the other users, be it with training and troubleshooting as well as talking to the Professional support team to get them to help out when I just do not get around to doing things to to capcity.

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.

AppDynamics provides crucial insights onto revenue generating systems that allows for proactive monitoring, preventing outages and issues before they arise. Coupled with the rich data from BiQ, AppDynamics is a platform that ads value to the whole organization and provides an ROI in a very short timeframe. Without AppDynamics, monitoring the complexed IT landscapes today would be near impossible.

Appdynamics is one of the best business observability solutions out there. I have witnessed incredible disgital transformations at my customers with these solution. Not only does it unify teams accross business and IT but it also coveres a wide range of technologies. It has the ability to dicsover issues in production proactively before they lead to a downtime and the fact that companies can pinpoint root cause to the exact line of code makes it an amazing time saver. Over the last 4 years I've seen IT teams troubleshoot within minutes instead of hours and transform their entire organization toward innovation, rather than troubleshooting. The unique logic of the solution that is based on every end users interaction gives deep insights to business teams and connects them to Dev teams.
