We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Azure Monitor 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."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"Provides an overview and high-level information."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring."
"n comparison to New Relic, which I've used before, it's a bit more complicated. It's not as easy to use. It also took some time to get it working. The implementation needs to be simpler."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
