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."Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"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."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The alert mechanism is quite accurate when something goes wrong in your system. For example, if you have hundreds of APIs on your server, and any of the APIs is not performing well, you get an alert. When there is a drop or change in the threshold value, the beauty of New Relic is that within a fraction of seconds, all the stakeholders who are configured in the New Relic system will get an alert. That's one good thing."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"End-user Synthetics and monitoring are very good."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available."
"The UX/UI design of New Relic APM could be improved. The solution currently has some slow pages in terms of loading and viewing the pages, for example, the reports. The reports and other pages take a long time to load."
"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios. For example, if I want to size my system for an event for New Year or Christmas season based on the historical data, I won't be able to find the historical data. Currently, the data is limited to three months. It would be helpful if they can provide historical data for a longer duration so that we can plan our system accordingly."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
