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."It's good for a larger scale deployment such as what my company is working on."
"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"It is a stable solution."
"We are able to correlate performance between tiers."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"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 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."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"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 solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"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."
