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 features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"You can scale the product."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"The price could be lower but it is not a must."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
