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."Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"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."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"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."
