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."What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"Applications: This provides us insight into how our applications are performing within our environments and affords us the ability to identify opportunities and make changes to code / environment to effect positive performance lift."
"AppDynamics has a very broad range of supported technologies, and it's user-friendly. It looks nice, and it's easy to sell the solution to the stakeholders when we can visualize how the website is working. For example, where we have any problems through visual analytics."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"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."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"The UI could use a little help."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"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."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"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."
