The WoW moment of AppDy

Reviewed on 12/12/2022

Appdynamics was wonderful and the wow moment in our environment

Appdynamics was wonderful and the wow moment in our environment

Pros

Appdynamics is a great 360 view tool to use for any application environment. I like the application, server and even the network flow monitoring of the application. My best part of the application feature is it drill down capability in determine root cause of an issue.

Cons

The setup is not ease and requires a lot of expertise. I also do not like the the fact that every component is billed or must purchase license to use.

I was able to keep monitoring the performance of a complex ecosystem. Thanks to the product I have a clear vision of the full architecture including the communication/flow between different services part of the solution.
With the alert notification, I am able to keep monitoring the performance of the system (I can immediately understand if something is going bad after a delivery for example) and the error. Moreover I can check the status of the servers running the solution.

Pros

The possibility to go into detail in case of error. You can arrive to the line of code having the issue. At the same time, in case of bad performance, you are able to know what was happening at that moment.
I would add also the alert section, it helps you to trigger alarm when it is needed. That may be fantastic for the team managing the operation / support h24. This team may be also helped by the dashboard that the users of AppDyn can create.

Cons

Setup of the Agent - there are other products doing better this part (the concept of OneAgent available for example in Dynatrace).
Setup complex in case of SAP ecosystem.
Real User Monitoring - the products specialized on this topic (doing only this) are better than AppDynamics. At the same time, with AppDyn you can have the monitoring end to end (from the final users to the specific server)

Alternatives Considered

Dynatrace and New Relic

Reasons for Switching to AppDynamics

The set of features leads the decision. This was the main driver, AppDynamics is one of the best solutions in the market.

Its real-time monitoring, intelligent analytics, and user-friendly interface make it a must-have tool for any business looking to improve the performance of their applications.

Pros

AppDynamics provides real time monitoring. It is very useful for real-time visibility into application performance. We can quickly identify and resolve issues before they impact end-users. It is highly customizable and we can customize based on specific requirements and needs. We can also create custom alerts and dashboards as per requirments. AppDynamics is easy to use, with an intuitive interface and easy-to-understand charts and graphs that make it accessible even to non-technical users.
