We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and BMC TrueSight Operations Management 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."AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"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 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."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"The solution is overly complex."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"The pricing could be better."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
