We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and AppDynamics Database Monitoring 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."It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"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."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"From the performance management side, I like everything from business transaction work to tracking. On the database side, we can get a lot of insights from the database. On the server monitoring side, it helped us a lot to find out some of the issues on the VM side because VMs were creating a little trouble for us."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"The solution saves time and cost."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"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."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"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."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"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 product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
