Overall Satisfaction with AppDynamics

We use AppDynamics software for app monitoring of our products and servers. We monitor user interactions with our applications. It is installed on all of our servers (hosted and on-prem). We can proactively monitor the apps to make sure we are meeting our key performance SLAs and checking for where the slowness occurs.

Pros

  • Zoom feature is awesome for looking at higher level or detailed level.
  • App monitoring.
  • The UI is easy to use and intuitive.
  • Customized Reporting.

Cons

  • It is a very complex product and requires training.
  • User admin can be better.
  • Mobile app is poorly designed.
  • It will cost you and arm and a leg (maybe two).
  • Reporting.
  • AppDynamics APIs.
  • Installation and Use.
  • Dashboarding and Analytics.
  • The drill down capabilities help you improve SLAs.
  • Dashboarding and reporting helps everyone understand the app performance.
  • Create more efficient products.
Datadog is a great product in comparison to AppDynamics and matches up to it. However, AppDynamics is used by many in the industry and is the best for our applications. There was lots of experience in the WorkForce with AppDynamics, so it was a better choice than Datadog. Datadog was much cheaper compared to AppDynamics.

Do you think AppDynamics delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with AppDynamics's feature set?

Yes

Did AppDynamics live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of AppDynamics go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy AppDynamics again?

Yes

This product is great for very big organizations with complicated products that are business critical. For example, for managing and monitoring millions of transactions. It is not a great product if you are trying to monitor small software apps and don't have that much complexity. You can look at other options. Also, it does not make sense if Budget [is] a key factor.
