The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"The best feature of New Relic is its simple look and feel, making it easier to use than other tools."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"Their technical support is pretty good and responsive. We have a real good relationship with them."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
"In the next release, I'd like to see a better pricing structure."
"The solution must provide better support for Azure Web Apps service."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
