We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Dynatrace 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 ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"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."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"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."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"We have not had any stability issues with it at all. This has been the most stable solution that I have worked with."
"Some of the main benefits are being able to quickly identify when transactions start to slow or run into issues, or hiccups if you will."
"The view it provides for default analysis is very nice. The way in which it showcases how the metrics have been captured and how lucidly that they are displayed. This is a good thing to have from a technical and non-technical perspective."
"The most valuable feature is the workflow, which helps you to easily have an overview of the infrastructure that you are analyzing, without having worked with it previously."
"Reduced incidents, as alert monitoring aids in quicker resolution of events."
"In terms of explaining to a customer how their data works, it has been a great tool. Instead of trying to draw it out, then hoping that is exactly where the data goes."
"The solution offers a better overview of applications. It offers end-to-end monitoring, and the user experience is real."
"Provides more visibility into applications."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"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 product requires high maintenance."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"Monitoring asynchronous code requires manual instrumentation (most of the time)."
"They're doing vulnerability assessments of the application stack by using OneAgent. It's a never-ending story if you are trying to be sure your application is also secure."
"It requires manual intervention to uninstall the cloud agent from servers you want it removed from."
"The container platform could include more value-added features."
"When integrating this solution with any third party applications, there is an additional cost to pay. This can make the solution very costly to use."
"A tutorial could be embedded in the system as it is hard for a beginner to start using Dynatrace straight away."
"Better root cause detection and improve root cause categories. In some cases, the root cause points out only a clue of what has happened."
"Due to the fact that you doing a lot, you have a problem with the learning curve. We're really looking for ways to make this product more accessible."
