Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The ability to check parameters for microservice applications is most valuable. It is important for me. I can manually create new business transactions for applications and individually monitor business transactions. I can also use a lot of extensions. It has a lot of extensions to monitor other third-party applications, such as NoSQL applications, memory cache applications, Kafka applications, and Couchbase applications. It is very useful. We are also using the end-user monitoring site to follow all end-user activities. It is important for us to check the errors on the customer site."
"I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions."
"It has improved my organization because we are able to proactively and reactively look at performance issues."
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."

"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
