We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring and Elastic Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
"What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"The interface could be improved."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
