We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and AppPulse Suite [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"The most valuable feature is the flow map."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"We're a large organization, so we appreciate AppDynamics' wide coverage. It may not work in all areas, but it has broad coverage. We can use the same dataset for different use case aspects. That is the beauty of AppDynamics. You can coordinate APM, EUM, and infrastructure through one dataset."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"At this time, we don't have much visibility on the virtual environment, monitoring, and all other things. We have visibility only for database monitoring, and we have noticed performance impact when deploying database agents on the database server. We got to know this from AppDynamics support also that we should not deploy database agents from the database server. When agents are deployed on the same server and the database is monitored from there, we are not getting database server metrics. Therefore, we don't have those insights, and sometimes, we struggle because of that. They can improve this functionality so that we do not have a performance impact, and we can deploy anywhere. This would help us a lot. In terms of end-user monitoring, currently, it is not working for us because there are some complexities. It is a little complicated, and it takes a little bit of time to understand where you need to make changes. It would be very helpful if they can provide some template designs for end-user monitoring. When our servers are running on VMs, we don't get many insights from the VM side. I don't know whether it is possible to have visibility beyond the database, server, and application and whether there are some features where we can deploy AppDynamics on VMs as well. Such functionality would give us more control over storage, VM, OS, and database. It will also provide complete visibility of our hardware and software."
"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."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
