For the entire mission-critical application environment, from the virtualized infrastructure that hosts them to the digital experience that end users have, Cisco AppDynamics is an excellent solution for application monitoring and performance.

One of the things I love is their Assistance with a wide variety of foreign technologies, including databases, servers, applications, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and virtualization.
What do you dislike most about this product?
All form of monitoring should involve the use of agents. A little expensive. Learn the ins and outs slowly.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
There was virtually no functionality such as synthetic monitoring when it came to monitoring the environment of vital business applications. Since numerous applications were responsible for tracking, it was not easy to determine why some applications were underperforming.
