We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and New Relic 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."The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
"We like the performance of the product."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"There are times when you restart the engines and the servers have a unique ID for the host and you need to remove the server. It is difficult because some are on-premise and others are production hosts. Having downtime is not very good when updating. However, it is not a constant issue."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"The price needs improvement."
"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
