We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and TruView 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."Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other. I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"The most valuable feature for us was the ability to monitor sites and get a nice overview of all the data in a single view."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"When you have high stress of visits I do not know if you are more stress because of the amount of visits or because you have to wait eternal 60 seconds to find out it things are going well or you already have mess."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"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."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"One area that could be improved is the reporting features. In the version transformation from ten to eleven, the platform changed from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform. As a result, the previous reporting feature using Crystal Reports was no longer available. Instead, we had to generate PDF dashboard reports, which were not as flexible."
