"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"This spectrum of solutions has allowed us to track down bugs faster and more rapidly, which allows us to limit revenue lost during downtime."
"With Datadog I can look at the health of the technology stack and services."
"Datadog has clear dashboards and good documentation."
"The network map is crucial in identifying bottlenecks and determining what needs more attention."
"The observability pipelines are the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable aspect is the APM which can monitor the metrics and latencies."
"We really like the charts and visualization."
"Datadog is constantly adding new features."
"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."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"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."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"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."
"Sometimes, it takes a long time to load the dashboard if we have many charts."
"The parallel editing of the dashboards should not cause users to lose the work of another person."
"I would like testing for data in the future."
"Datadog needs more local Asia-Pacific support, and if they don't have a SaaS solution in Asia-Pacific, they should offer an on-prem version. I'm told that's not possible."
"Sometimes it’s difficult to customize certain queries to find specific things, specifically with the logging solution."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."
"I think better access to their engineers when we have a problem could be better."
"The current way accounts are billed could be vastly improved - especially when involving multiple organizations across multiple accounts in combination with reserved commitments."
