Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Whenever the application crashes from user behavior, we can easily simulate the error. We are happy with this feature and find it to be valuable.""There are many features that are very valuable to us, but the ability to monitor the status of the users' experience in real-time is one of them.""For anybody who is looking into enhancing or improving their application code quality, I would definitely recommend this solution.""We have found the scalability to be quite good.""In the case of a mobile banking application, AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring successfully reduced the response time from eight seconds to just one second. In another example, the tool identified an issue within the mobile app, causing lost transactions in the billing system.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its GUI."

"The product's initial setup phase was very easy.""We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part.""The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications.""It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra).""To me, the most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the traceability, mainly based on the time travel method, so you get the overall response time, which is pretty helpful for developers and ADR techs looking into issues on a deeper level. New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution.""The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow.""The tool's most valuable features were APM and core reliability. We get alerts whenever an anomaly is detected. The solution is very friendly.""The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters."

Cons
"There may be some older technologies that are still covered, however, it's not as plug-and-play. You can still do it, however, it takes slightly more effort for engineers to cover old technologies such as C++, Delphi, and so on. It still can be done. It's just not as easy as, for example, covering Java.""In terms of improvements we would like to see, we want to understand what the battery consumption metrics are whenever a user is viewing. It would be really helpful for us if we could get those details levels.""I would like to see accommodation for millisecond granularity, as we only have one-second granularity now.""The way the agentless monitoring and agent monitoring get used is to be decided by the user, but there is no clarification on the setup phase or on how and why to use the aforementioned options.""I would like to see a better way to automate actions based on the events generated by the tool.""The only improvement I see is intercepting calls in a mobile application without injecting additional code. Currently, when instrumenting or monitoring a mobile application, it's necessary to release updates, prompt users to upgrade, and inject code into the backend. It would be beneficial if there were a method to intercept these calls without requiring users to download and upgrade the application. However, I'm unsure about the feasibility of such an approach."

More AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring Cons →

"The solution needs to have staging.""The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests.""There were some settings we had issues with.""I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues.""They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps.""Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment.""New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information.""The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It does require licensing to be paid."
  • "I believe there was probably an extra charge whenever I wanted to contact the support team."
  • "I rate AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring's pricing as seven out of ten. Mobile monitoring is paid based on the number of instances utilizing the mobile monitoring service, which increases as the scale grows. Consequently, your mobile user count can proportionally surpass all other applications."
  • More AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
  • "There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
