We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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."It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"The solution saves time and cost."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"Technical support is helpful."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"It provides everything into one view, so we can track information from one place to another."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management."
"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"This solution is expensive."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"SevOne could improve its flexibility because it isn't fully customizable and its out-of-the-box configuration doesn't cover all use cases."
"One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end. It's able to do that, but it's not as impressive as we would like it to be. We would like to understand the different interface types and the connection points better, through the visualization. Heatmaps also need further development."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"There is no service mode setup in this monitoring tool if you want to snooze alerts for any specific amount of time, to account for any activity change or major incident."
"Their virtualization solution is not compatible with our Kubernetes environment, which is one of the reasons we are ending our relationship with them."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"Software upgrades can be tricky is not easy."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
