"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The company provides excellent service."
"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."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors. In addition, for end-user monitoring, sometimes, we are not able to catch all user activities. Because of not being able to follow the user activity from the start to the end, we are missing out on the performance issues."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"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"
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
