We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and New Relic 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."To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"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."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"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."
"AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"It has a simple initial setup."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"The alert mechanism is quite accurate when something goes wrong in your system. For example, if you have hundreds of APIs on your server, and any of the APIs is not performing well, you get an alert. When there is a drop or change in the threshold value, the beauty of New Relic is that within a fraction of seconds, all the stakeholders who are configured in the New Relic system will get an alert. That's one good thing."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
"To me, the most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the traceability, mainly based on the time travel method, so you get the overall response time, which is pretty helpful for developers and ADR techs looking into issues on a deeper level. New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"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 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."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"The solution must provide better support for Azure Web Apps service."
