Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Elastic and others in Container Monitoring."The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"The features that I like best are the dashboard and Business Journey."
"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"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."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"Installation and configuration can be very tough. An average user without specialized knowledge can't do this. You need to have DevOps and QA teams handle it. During installation, a lot of customers get stuck trying to track the database or the API part, and they have to contact customer support."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"I would like them to change their business model for scalability to accommodate growing companies. The business model should be more flexible."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"When you have high stress of visits I do not know if you are more stress because of the amount of visits or because you have to wait eternal 60 seconds to find out it things are going well or you already have mess."
"The UI could use a little help."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
""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."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
