We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Azure Monitor 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."Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"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."
"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."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"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."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"I use the solution to monitor the infrastructure and applications."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"You can scale the product."
"I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"It's a Microsoft native tool, so it works well with other Microsoft technologies, which is predominantly what our customer end-user base is."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"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."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"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."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"There are a lot of things that take more time to do, such as charting, alerting, and correlation of data, and things like that. Azure Monitor doesn't tell you why something happened. It just tells you that it happened. It should also have some type of AI. Environments and applications are becoming more and more complex every day with hundreds or thousands of microservices. Therefore, having to do a lot of the stuff manually takes a lot of time, and on top of that, troubleshooting issues takes a lot of time. The traditional method of troubleshooting doesn't really work for or apply to this environment we're in. So, having an AI-based system and the ability to automate deployments of your monitoring and configurations makes it much easier."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill."
"The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The query builder could be better. In comparison to other monitoring tools, in order to use Azure Monitor, your engineers need to have KQL experience. If they don't, it's not intuitive as a system."
