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."The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"We're a large organization, so we appreciate AppDynamics' wide coverage. It may not work in all areas, but it has broad coverage. We can use the same dataset for different use case aspects. That is the beauty of AppDynamics. You can coordinate APM, EUM, and infrastructure through one dataset."
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"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"."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"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."
"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."
