We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and LiveAction LiveNX 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."Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"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 AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"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."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"I like how the AppDynamics dashboard portrays the information flows. When a task is executed, various flows between different applications and databases happen in the background. The dashboard is intuitive and helps visualize the connections, the directions of the flow, and the information related to these specific sessions."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"AppDynamics is a solution that requires extra learning and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, automated reports would helpful similar to have they have in Google Analytics."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"The solution's user interface should be improved."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
