We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Oracle Enterprise Manager 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."Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"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."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."
"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"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."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
