Business transaction discovery is a really good feature. Unlike other tools that just show the endpoints, AppDynamics automatically groups our traffic into logical flows. This makes it incredibly easy to set performance baselines for specific critical paths in our automation suite. The ability to upload custom Selenium or Python scripts for synthetic monitoring means we can reuse our existing automation logic for production monitoring.
Unique concept for monitoring applications.
I think the product has definitely gone down hill over the last 4 to 5 years. There have been several bugs and lack of functionality to name a few.
The UI feels dated compared to newer observability platforms. Navigating between the end user monitoring tab and the backend APM nodes can be clunky and requires too many clicks. Also, the licensing for synthetic sessions is separate and can get expensive if you want to run high frequency tests from multiple global locations.
Injecting the agent is difficult in Kubernetes.
For this product, there were several years where new functionality was non-existent. As far as service is concerned, there has been a major amount of turn over and the support site is very cumbersome to navigate.
