Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"We previously had an operations team continuously monitoring applications. Now, they just have set things up and our developers can monitor, view, and act on them, accordingly."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"The GUI can be overwhelming at first to a novice Dev or Ops support person, and the possible root causes of an issue do not bubble up to the first screen you see."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"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."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"The training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."
