Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."
"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."
"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."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"AppDynamics is scalable."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"It has a random transaction trace which gives our customers the ability to look at how their transaction performs."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The pricing could be better."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"The solution still needs the administrator of APM to know a lot more to configure and control everything. So it's a headache for the administrator to do the daily jobs."
"Support could be much better."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly. It’s look and feel is still too technical."
