We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor 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."We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"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 in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast."
"Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."
"I am impressed with the tool's AppStack feature which mainly helps us in the identification process. This feature can give an overview of the fault and help us identify the issues for performance degradation. Instead of looking at multiple places, we can look at a single place to identify the issues."
"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."
"The component and cable monitoring are good. SolarWinds is more intuitive and user-friendly than AppDynamics. The AppDynamics console is more complex because it's a more feature-rich solution, so it's not easy for somebody to pick it up."
"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"
"Monitoring of processes and services is the most valuable feature. It is not necessarily just the server alone in terms of the CPU or the memory. We can go in-depth into services and processes."
"One of the most valuable features are the reports. They're pretty good. Also, the ease of installation and customization for the client is another feature that we value. SolarWinds has a lot of features but these are the ones I like the most. We also like that the KPIs have the ability to be preset."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"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."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"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."
"One area that could benefit from improvement is its performance"
"The product needs to reduce its price."
"It would be helpful if the solution could integrate more with the security compliances, like this IDSS, etc."
"SAM AppInsight for SQL: The ability to ignore fragmentation of specific indexes."
"I would like to see support for non-Windows or non-Microsoft domains, especially Apache and other non-Windows servers."
"A lot of times, we have to do a lot of manual cleanups."
"Solarwinds should come up the same monitoring system for other certificate expiration alert apart from SSL."
"Mapping interactions between systems."
