We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and SCOM 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."The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"It provides everything into one view, so we can track information from one place to another."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It's easy to use."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The infrastructure is not as good as other solutions."
"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 console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"The price could be improved."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
