Niranjan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Solution Architect- Security & Privacy at Sify Technologies
Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.

Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"Using this solution enables our users to figure out, within a second, any problems with the application or the database."
"This solution has helped us to reduce the number of incidents in our Production environment and improve the performance of applications."
"AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites."
"It is a wonderful monitoring tool that manages various aspects such as system resources (CPU, RAM), mobile performance, and infrastructure monitoring."
"From the performance management side, I like everything from business transaction work to tracking. On the database side, we can get a lot of insights from the database. On the server monitoring side, it helped us a lot to find out some of the issues on the VM side because VMs were creating a little trouble for us."
"We were previously using Dynatrace, then we shifted to AppDynamics because it was more convenient."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"The proactive monitoring from AppDynamics definitely helps."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"The reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud and on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"Part of it is support for more modern languages. Node is lagging behind."
"Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application."
"It could understand more invocation protocols."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"AppDynamics should add more features to identify in case if there is some thread waiting for something."
"Once in a while, we've had some hiccups around the UI being slow, but that typically gets resolved pretty quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"For those who appreciate the value and had issues with the visibility of the performance of their applications, then the pricing is good. For somebody who does not need it, it can be pricey, but overall, it is worth the money which it costs."
"It would be better if there were more solutions incorporated into the base price. ​"
"The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve."
"Because it is priced per JVM, the price can increase pretty fast, into the millions. We have had challenges because we had to justify the price to our clients, as well, when we are putting in certain tools."
"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
