What differentiates AppDynamics from other similar products?

Code level visibility. Dynamic baselining. Powerful alerting. Visibility and control. Quick installation and there are many more.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Browser and mobile real user monitoring is awesome

What do you dislike most about this product?

In terms of dashboard I believe there is plenty of room for improvement as it's lacking many advance like searching data within the dashboard is not possible. Synthetic monitoring part is still complex and needs to be addressed as hosting agents for synthetic monitoring is still [a] challenging task. The on premise controller setup requires huge resources and since it's the important component of AppDynamics ignoring it will cause loss of metrics and slowness while capturing metrics.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Sometimes, we are not able to install machine agent as that consumed memory and have some overhead. So consider this this thing.
