We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us.""Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes.""Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server.""Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors.""It's pretty stable.""The analytics are great.""All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."

"The most valuable feature of New Relic is its ease of use.""It has a simple initial setup.""The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it.""The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful.""We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part.""You don't have to go through a list of 500 servers.""To me, the most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the traceability, mainly based on the time travel method, so you get the overall response time, which is pretty helpful for developers and ADR techs looking into issues on a deeper level. New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution.""There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good."

Cons
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks.""This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved.""The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward.""This is an expensive solution.""The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."

More AppDynamics Application Analytics Cons →

"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises.""I haven't come across any features that are lacking.""The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help.""I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has.""In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data.""They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve.""There were some settings we had issues with.""The browser isn't exactly reliable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."
  • "The license fee for Application Analytics is in the range of 2.5 million over three years, with extra fees for service contingencies."
  • "It's a very expensive product. Each of the licenses after this month for one server is around $9,000 or $10,000."
  • More AppDynamics Application Analytics Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
  • "There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
