"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"The solution is end-to-end from the network and the application to the processes. Everything about the enterprise infrastructure is being covered by the solution. It's easy to use and easy to navigate and one of the leaders among monitoring solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager."
"I find it to be a strong product suite, particularly when you need a comprehensive monitoring tool."
"This product can monitor application environments no matter where they reside and provides capabilities for deep insight into infrastructure."
"The application dependency feature identifies issues between applications and servers or within the network where the application is hosted. It highlights related problems, whether related to packet processing or other issues, enabling the creation of alerts and reports accordingly."
"Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."
"It is simple to implement and can provide fairly decent Windows-based monitoring, beyond simple SNMP. It is great for monitoring newbies and smaller shops."
"We use the solution as a central monitoring tool. We use it to monitor every transaction that has a relation to the organization’s infrastructure."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"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."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"The scalability could be improved."
"I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial."
"Mapping interactions between systems."
"A lot of times, we have to do a lot of manual cleanups."
"In terms of the dashboards on offer, they should work to improve them. The types of dashboards that you get in terms of the graphs on offer aren't ideal right now."
"I would like to see support for non-Windows or non-Microsoft domains, especially Apache and other non-Windows servers."
"The stability, flexibility, and ease of use could be improved."
"Solarwinds should come up the same monitoring system for other certificate expiration alert apart from SSL."
"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
