Overall Satisfaction with AppDynamics

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.
  • Identifying problematic queries on databases
  • Website monitoring
  • Alert generation
  • Difficult to setup
  • Not the best at Event correlation
  • Recurring cost very high
  • Reduction in troubleshooting time
  • Simplified monitoring
  • Positive ROI
  • SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor and Nagios Core
AppDymanics and Solarwinds was a good products at application and website monitoring. For SQL monitoring AppDymanics was the superior product is it found several queries that were slowing down the server while Solarwinds could not find any issues. The version of Nagios that we tested did not have any proper support other than user forums which was not suitable for a production environment so Nagios was notconsidered.

Yes

Would you buy AppDynamics again?

Yes

AppDynamics is well suited for website and application monitoring. It was able to identify some code on our websites that needed to be cleaned up and we were able t configure alerts to send to the relevant server owner when a service went down. It does a very good job with real time performance on you apps. When systems are in non production or 100% uptime is not required it is hard to justify the cost and time to configure AppDymanics
