The My.Appoptics is a great tool that provides in-depth analysis of end-to-end implemented infrastructure. I would like to see especially with SQL Server options that provide SPID. This helps to backtrack from database side .Secondly, only a part of a bigger SQL query is captured. I would like to see SPID or all of the SQL query to be provided. Otherwise, it is still a problem to solve performance related issues. One good thing I like is that AppOptics at higher level pinpoints the performance issue if it is at a database level, CPU level, etc. Once it is determined that the query needs to be tuned. So a SPID or all of the longer SQL query needs to be displayed.
  • Pinpoints the area of concern
  • Provides most of the database-level details
  • Good graphical presentation
  • Database-level details SPID
  • Provide a notepad file for longer SQL Code
  • Google Chrome new window open gets stuck sometime
1) Scenarios related to a web application and IT firing queries to Database.
2) Only database queries
3) Big data queries
4) Performance tuning stored procedures. Very important when users complain about a long-running query. Queries can be sorted by the highest wait statistics and can help to know the number of requests as well.

We are having issues with our Cloud. SolarWinds AppOptics is being used by engineering to monitor a few cloud/web servers. It allows us to keep accurate track of the load on our servers.
  • Graphing of server metrics
  • Dashboard creation
  • Plugins for NGINX and MariaDB
  • I can't get some of the charts from the services page into my dashboards.
  • Can't get the chart types from infrastructure page into my dashboards.
When making changes to our servers we can create charts that show both servers for easy comparison.
SolarWinds AppOptics allows us to see if we are getting better or worse.

Engineering uses SolarWinds AppOptics to monitor performance bottlenecks in JVM applications.
  • API
  • Library
  • Integration
  • Interface
  • Speed
  • Documentation
Out of the box functionality of SolarWinds AppOptics is limited. It's good if you're willing to set up custom monitors in code.

AppOptics is being used across the whole organization, but the way teams rely on it can vary. On my team we rely on it to understand how requests to our services are performing and to identify bottlenecks, in order to determine an action plan to address any latency issue we might be facing.
  • Easy navigation between services.
  • Traced requests order by endpoint, average response time, http code returns, etc.
  • User-friendly visibility on layered calls done to provide a response to a service request.
  • Zoom in/out functionality when looking at a traced request over time could be easier.
  • Time range filter for requests could be more visible.
  • When looking at a traced request, the details tab has been moved from a previous version and it's not straightforward to find it now.
AppOptics is great to understand how requests to services are performing and to identify bottlenecks.

We are using AppOptics as a performance bench marking tool for changes that we are making to our internal web applications.
  • Easy to use.
  • Clean UI.
  • Simple setup.
  • I think that it could use a little bit more work in the event correlation feature.
We are only using it in a very limited capacity at the moment. I think that there will be a lot of potential for us to move forward and start to use more of the features.
