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 helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"It has improved my organization because we are able to proactively and reactively look at performance issues."
"Provides monitoring more around business processes versus just servers, applications, etc. E.g., with complex systems, where a business process passes across multiple applications, the business needs us to monitor the heath of the process, not just a segment of the application."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"The GUI can be overwhelming at first to a novice Dev or Ops support person, and the possible root causes of an issue do not bubble up to the first screen you see."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need."
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
