Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"We use it to create dashboards and executive view dashboards, so our higher up managers can take a look and see where our application status stands."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The scalability could be improved."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"The integration with CA Spectrum is quite difficult to create, and it is also only one way, only being used to view alarms coming from CA APM."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"The solution still needs the administrator of APM to know a lot more to configure and control everything. So it's a headache for the administrator to do the daily jobs."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"The technical support is very poor."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
