"Reduced MTTR & increased MTBF!!"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Splunk AppDynamics?

The freemium version of AppDynamics offers many useful tasks. Straight forward agent installation on systems and add it as part of JVM process. Auto environment connectivity detection I great. It is relatively easy to monitor the server side and client side performance metrics. Support for multiple platforms is a great feature. Troubleshooting is much easier with AppDynamics compare to our legacy monitoring tools. We have integrated with load testing tools such as Load Runner and it was a breeze. the level of detailed insights is rich and meaningful. Single pane of glass makes operations much easier along with agentless monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk AppDynamics?

The product is economically challenged. Also, currently no automated agent management/upgrades for every agent type. Learning curve could be steep depending on existing skillsets. Some configuration could make it harder to filter signal from the noise. Flex coded developed applications can pose additional challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Splunk AppDynamics:

The market for enterprise monitoring tools is rich and competitive. There are a large number of players both small and large. As always, do your due diligence and make sure your selection meets your requirements and use case. Just because it worked well for us don't mean it will be the case for others. Do your homework.

What problems is Splunk AppDynamics solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had many issues with memory leaks, heap sizing and garbage collections within our JVM clusters which made root cause analysis an arduous and pain staking. With Appdynamics, we are able to pinpoint an issues in a proactive manner and get ahead of the potential issues. This has positive impact on our SLAs and OLAs in terms of MTTR and MTBF.
