We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and AppDynamics Database Monitoring 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 most valuable feature is having our services being available and healthy."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other. I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"It provides everything into one view, so we can track information from one place to another."
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"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."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"If it can be able to intelligently provide all the things we need to look at, from a data point of view, that would be very useful."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"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."
"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 application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
