We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Dynatrace 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."The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"PurePaths help us drill down to the root cause of problems and escape the war room."
"The deployment itself is very easy and straightforward."
"Having the metrics easily understood and easily articulating the information."
"Auto alerting and reporting on the application and the infrastructure aid us in delivering our service with greater value."
"Provides more insight into detecting what the problem is with some of our applications."
"It supports Kubernetes and cloud monitoring platforms."
"The installation and configuration were very straightforward and nice."
"24/7, all transactions: The fact that every transaction is captured gives us the possibility of acting on every exception. But it also shows us what happens when everything works well, so we can compare it with the moment something goes wrong."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"There's no download action for the reports, so if they could add something like that, it would add value for us. We cannot save data for more than seven to 10 days, so it would be better to add a feature for downloading. At least we could store the data and then we could compare for ourselves, where we are starting and where we are and where we are heading. I would have those metrics."
"Training is required for all of the people who will be using it, and this should not be overlooked. I would even recommend nominating an SME in each of the three areas covered: user behaviour analysis, development, and infrastructure/operations support."
"Dynatrace has been difficult to set up and use to diagnose problems in the past due to the complex nature of the tool."
"They expect the customer to do the basic analysis, do all the solutions, and find the solutions themselves. If it is really a product problem, only then will they be able to identify and spend time on the customer."
"We need more AI in the product to avoid manual analysis."
"I would like to see Dynatrace be more user-friendly. Sometimes there are too many options to use from, which is good, but it can become confusing on how to proceed."
"It definitely needs HA, because we have so many applications that are dependent on AppMon that it has been deemed critical. Any downtime, it just affects so many users. So that's one of our key asks for the future."
"A role-based view and a Python monitoring tool would make a simple user interface more usable."
