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 ability to check parameters for microservice applications is most valuable. It is important for me. I can manually create new business transactions for applications and individually monitor business transactions. I can also use a lot of extensions. It has a lot of extensions to monitor other third-party applications, such as NoSQL applications, memory cache applications, Kafka applications, and Couchbase applications. It is very useful. We are also using the end-user monitoring site to follow all end-user activities. It is important for us to check the errors on the customer site."
"The solution saves time and cost."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"It has improved my organization because we are able to proactively and reactively look at performance issues."
"It's good for a larger scale deployment such as what my company is working on."
"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"."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"They are using Flash for their website, which is very slow. We had hoped the website would be much faster to use, and that is definitely what we want to see."
"The GUI can be overwhelming at first to a novice Dev or Ops support person, and the possible root causes of an issue do not bubble up to the first screen you see."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
""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."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
