We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Sysdig Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Elastic and others in Container Monitoring."Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"It's good for a larger scale deployment such as what my company is working on."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"Provides monitoring more around business processes versus just servers, applications, etc. E.g., with complex systems, where a business process passes across multiple applications, the business needs us to monitor the heath of the process, not just a segment of the application."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The most valuable feature is the flow map."
"The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
""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."
