We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"Google's technical support is very good."
"I like the monitoring feature."
"It's easy to use."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"Offers a valuable logging transport feature"
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."
"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports."

"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"It could be even more automated."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"It could be more stable."
"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
