We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Browser Real-User 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."We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"The solution can be deployed quickly on-prem. Once it's deployed, you can use discovery and review the process and service on this application."
"We use it for monitoring all the applications in our bank, and it works fantastically."
"We also got know many internal code bugs which could have caused memory leaks or other issues which we were not able to catch during that development phase."
"The OneAgent technology does a brilliant job of simplifying what was earlier one of the pain points in enterprise monitoring."
"With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."
"It has more functionality, better additional components, and better management of problems. It also has a good AI."
"It is very stable and reliable."
"Dynatrace is an extremely helpful APM solution in large, complex environments, whenever we need to have an integrated vision of our users, infrastructure, and applications."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"I would say that this solution's reports are lacking a little bit, and because of this, you have to rely on API to fetch and pull data. I think they could have done a bit of a better job by providing a more user-friendly search from a reporting perspective."
"The one thing people really liked that we can do in AppMon is executive dashboards and, until recently, you couldn't even create the business transactions you need for the data at the back-end of those dashboards. But if I had to ask for one thing it would be: In the new platform, give me the ability to do dashboarding in the way it's done in AppMon, and I think that would bridge a lot of the missing pieces. If I could do the same type of executive dashboards on the walls, they would be happy."
"There should be more visibility for network performance monitoring. There should be more metrics for things like 5G and IoT. That would be the main thing because they've moved more to mobile performance rather than fixed networks."
"Two things that can be improved are the licensing and the Business dashboard."
"This solution needs improvement in terms of automation."
"It would be nice to have a simplified monitoring feature for non-Java applications."
"Some of the analytics that you get in, e.g., a waterfall analysis of a web page could be clearer. A lot of that is not directly attributable to Dynatrace. Sometimes a vendor will implement a tag or JavaScript plugin that's named something entirely different than what it does. This makes it difficult to track that from the waterfall list, figure out where exactly that component is, and dig more into what it's doing. Dynatrace could probably improve a bit on that waterfall layout to make it clearer as to what exactly is there. It does a wonderful job of telling you what loads and when, but it could be improved in terms of telling me what exactly it is loading."
"The solution's ability to assess the severity of anomalies based on the actual impact to users and business KPIs is great. In my opinion, it could be extended even more. I would like it to be more configurable for the end-user. It would be nice to have more business rules applicable to the severity. It's already very good as it is now. It is based on the impact on your front-end users. But it would be nice if we could configure it a bit more."
