We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Dynatrace, 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."The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"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."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"It severely reduces the time spent doing performance test cycles."
"I think Dynatrace has good integration. I saw an integration with xMatters where, when there's a problem, it can kick out a message to the whomever it is, with xMatters."
"The dashboard customization based on the performance metric requirement is one of the most exciting features."
"Service engineers save a lot of time because they can just go in look at the data and share it with the customer, who has the same view, and say, "Here's an improvement which can be immediately implemented." It's not like a collection of big, multiple findings that are consolidated into one results presentation, then the customer needs to do something. It's more like a continuous performance analysis and improvement process, which is more efficient than those workshops approaches. That's one of the biggest of the advantages that our services team sees because it helps DevOps to focus on continuous delivery and shift quality issues to pre-production."
"Dynatrace alerts are based on deviations from the reference metrics which are constantly collected."
"We are now able to identify the root cause in 15 minutes. It has helped the entire operations of our company."
"The view it provides for default analysis is very nice. The way in which it showcases how the metrics have been captured and how lucidly that they are displayed. This is a good thing to have from a technical and non-technical perspective."
"I have never been more confident in a tool's scalability because I've seen how easy it is for it to deal with the .NET Applets."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"It is the best database management system."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"I like that it's stable."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would like a testing module focused on quality gates."
"We are still struggling a bit with finding an answer quickly."
"It needs a dashboard for cluster events in general, and for Kubernetes specifically."
"UEM (User Experience Management) works great for web clients and Android and IOS apps, but for other rich clients it's a lot more challenging."
"When the tool ingests data from other tools, being able to correlate those with the existing topology, so that the AI engine can draw more conclusions in case Dynatrace does not monitor those instances."
"The problem evaluation feature is an awesome idea, but bit difficult to pick up initially."
"We are happy with the server monitoring, but we feel like the application monitoring should be improved."
"Dynatrace has APIs, but they are unfriendly APIs. If they were friendly like Splunk or Sumo Logic had, we might integrate that same data on a single webpage, then start showing these internally."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
