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."Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"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."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"We had point solutions where we could see different elements of the stack, and Dynatrace ties everything together. Before, we could never get that full-stack monitoring. It also helps us get us the context of the customer experience. What's the business impact of those problems?"
"I like the auto email alerting feature the most, as it is set up based on the application error or condition."
"The real-user monitoring is mostly used to gauge the difference in performance for multitenant applications, This is so we can discern if there are any local network or client-facing issues when we do a comparison between each customer. It is quite important for us to be able to identify a client-side issue, as opposed to a feature managed problem, because we're essentially providing managed services of business applications."
"The solution is amazing, it does well when you need to use it."
"Enables my performance engineer to recreate a problem and give the developers what's happening, where to go look, all the information they need to be able to find what the root cause is."
"Real-time alerts allow us to address issues as they happen."
"It gives more visibility into all the coding (the black screen). It gives a nice screen. You can see ups and downs. You can see where the traffic is getting impacted, more on the convergence side."
"Dynatrace helps us to improve overall performance and allows us to detect the root cause of an outbreak on our systems."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The scalability could be improved."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"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."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"More visibility into Python processes."
"This solution needs more powerful database monitoring capabilities."
"We have multiple tenants. If you have them up at the same time, you can't see in the UI which tenant you're in. It doesn't tell you."
"The only challenge is that it's an extensive tool that requires a significant amount of time to learn."
"We have some issues with react user sessions."
"Beginner video tutorials would really help."
"Bring the interface to the same level as OneAgent."
"We are happy with the server monitoring, but we feel like the application monitoring should be improved."
