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."We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"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."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"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."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"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."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
