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."It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions."
"The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"I like how the AppDynamics dashboard portrays the information flows. When a task is executed, various flows between different applications and databases happen in the background. The dashboard is intuitive and helps visualize the connections, the directions of the flow, and the information related to these specific sessions."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that you can easily determine the load on the application."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"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 network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"The Log Analytics feature is a bit complicated."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
