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."Provides monitoring more around business processes versus just servers, applications, etc. E.g., with complex systems, where a business process passes across multiple applications, the business needs us to monitor the heath of the process, not just a segment of the application."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"It's good for a larger scale deployment such as what my company is working on."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."
"The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"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."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"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."
