AppDynamics your eyes everywhere

What do you like best? I love the fact that you have eyes in pretty much all infrastructure, you are able to overview all transactions in real time also the node map allows you to view the flow of those transactions, when it comes to graphics, you can overview CPU, memory, disk usage and network status in every host, you can also set the alerts and thresholds accordingly. What do you dislike? the user interface is not very friendly, navigating this app could be confusing at ...

Detailed transaction monitoring

What do you like best? In our environment, appdynamics is deployed in the jvm. There is minimal overhead. The GUI provides resource usage graphing and call chains with identified errors/exceptions. What do you dislike? I don’t think our company uses it to its fullest potential. It would take a lot of setup to get it fully running from what I can tell. Especially building all of your Business Transaction rules. Sometimes the scope of the automated monitoring frequency doesn't capture ...

Strong and simple software!

What do you like best? Very intuitive. As vague as this sounds, it just seems to work. Whether it be developing custom dashboards or creating fresh extensions. I personally enjoy how easy how easy and simple it is to monitor resources state at a glance. It works with our current set up. What do you dislike? The one problem i have with this software is simply, how logs are processed and displayed. I've had to create multiple briefs for my department, just because the majority of ...

Real Time Snapshot: Right Here, Right Now!

What do you like best? This software is really easy to use and understand! AppD afforded us the opportunity to view the entire text of our queries, and the response times for the slower queries. This way we could easily locate which queries were causing a slower functional response to our applications. What do you dislike? . We’ve only used it during a trial session/period however once we have more usage, we can provide a more accurate response. For now, some colleagues have reported ...

A life saver

What do you like best? For me the best thing is the amount of control you have over the information that is displayed. You can really dial down the specific parameters you want to visibly monitor in real time. This can help you assess any situation quickly and effectively. AppDynamics is a massive time saver, and reported issues with an app can be easily located and they can be solved so much quicker than previously. You can filter out parameters that you already know won't be an issue ...

An incredible resource.

What do you like best? The support available for developers is brilliant and the fact that support is available 24 hours is really worth while. The interface looks great and makes it easy to access all the information you need just from glancing at the screen. It is so easy to have it open on one monitor and look periodically without having to dive deep in to the program to run just a few checks. The reporting that App Dynamics provides has really cut down the amount of time we take ...
