We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Sysdig Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"It has improved my organization because we are able to proactively and reactively look at performance issues."
"The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"AppDynamics is easy to implement if you follow the documentation, and the documentation that they provide is good."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors. In addition, for end-user monitoring, sometimes, we are not able to catch all user activities. Because of not being able to follow the user activity from the start to the end, we are missing out on the performance issues."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"The Log Analytics feature is a bit complicated."
"When you have high stress of visits I do not know if you are more stress because of the amount of visits or because you have to wait eternal 60 seconds to find out it things are going well or you already have mess."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
