We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"The training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"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."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
