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."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."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"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."
"The user interface is like a type of dashboard. You can use the tool as an end user into the tool interface, which is good."
"We use Dynatrace for performance testing. We use it to dig down for application layer or slowness issues, getting a clear idea of what is causing the issues, then reporting back to the engineering team."
"Dynatrace covers the important tiers and allows us to quickly find trends and root causes in all our critical application lifecycle steps"
"It can give a quick overview of the current health status, end to end, and can quickly point to the root cause if there an issue or problem in one of our applications."
"It gives complete stats of the user and what they are doing."
"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."
"In general, it has helped me go through different logs more easily when something breaks."
"End-to-end visibility of the applications, since we have them instrumented. Understanding where the hotspots are in the applications."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"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 solution must improve security and setup."
"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"Cloud monitoring is insufficient. We would prefer Dynatrace to make more partnerships with major cloud applications like Salesforce, C4C, etc."
"Needs support for more technologies."
"It would be great to have Synthetic automatically retrieve what the customer sees on his side."
"I do not like after 60 days or 90 days it gets aggregated to summary data. I would like to be able to analyze specific PurePaths after 30 days or 60 days with real numbers."
"One of the features that we are lacking is on the reports side. We don't have much reporting available. And the dashboards. I checked on their blog and they said that they are working on the dashboard front where you can create the dashboards. We do have dashboards available. They said they are bringing in a lot of things there, so I'm looking forward to that, on reports."
"I would like to see dashboards included, and maybe more possibilities in terms of customization."
"I'd like to see more agents ready to be deployed. I know that it's possible to develop integration with Dynatrace API, but in day-to-day operations it's hard to do that kind of customization. So if they had more agents for more platforms and more applications, I think it would be better."
"Improvements are needed in the navigation and timeframe selection when browsing problems."
