We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring and Elastic Observability 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."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."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"The interface could be improved."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
