We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, BMC TrueSight Operations Management, and Sysdig Monitor 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 business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"AppDynamics has been stable."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"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."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics is the scalability and monitoring."
"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."
"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"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."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The solution could improve its price."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
