We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Cavisson NetDiagnostics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We're a large organization, so we appreciate AppDynamics' wide coverage. It may not work in all areas, but it has broad coverage. We can use the same dataset for different use case aspects. That is the beauty of AppDynamics. You can coordinate APM, EUM, and infrastructure through one dataset."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"AppDynamics has been stable."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"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."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."
"The infrastructure is not as good as other solutions."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"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."
"I would like them to change their business model for scalability to accommodate growing companies. The business model should be more flexible."
"At this time, we don't have much visibility on the virtual environment, monitoring, and all other things. We have visibility only for database monitoring, and we have noticed performance impact when deploying database agents on the database server. We got to know this from AppDynamics support also that we should not deploy database agents from the database server. When agents are deployed on the same server and the database is monitored from there, we are not getting database server metrics. Therefore, we don't have those insights, and sometimes, we struggle because of that. They can improve this functionality so that we do not have a performance impact, and we can deploy anywhere. This would help us a lot. In terms of end-user monitoring, currently, it is not working for us because there are some complexities. It is a little complicated, and it takes a little bit of time to understand where you need to make changes. It would be very helpful if they can provide some template designs for end-user monitoring. When our servers are running on VMs, we don't get many insights from the VM side. I don't know whether it is possible to have visibility beyond the database, server, and application and whether there are some features where we can deploy AppDynamics on VMs as well. Such functionality would give us more control over storage, VM, OS, and database. It will also provide complete visibility of our hardware and software."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
