We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and ScienceLogic 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 previously had an operations team continuously monitoring applications. Now, they just have set things up and our developers can monitor, view, and act on them, accordingly."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"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."
"We are able to correlate performance between tiers."
"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."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Power packs."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"It is simple."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors. In addition, for end-user monitoring, sometimes, we are not able to catch all user activities. Because of not being able to follow the user activity from the start to the end, we are missing out on the performance issues."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
