We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and New Relic 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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"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 good thing with AppDynamics Databases is that it will give you a pretty good overview of the data, all the database-like tables, long-running queries, jobs running on the databases, and the queries that are taking more time. So, it's at a deeper level with all the database functionalities, and you will get that information. So, it's a pretty good tool in that sense."
"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."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"The synthetic alert is the most valuable feature in New Relic APM. I also like the time travel feature and find traceability useful in the solution. New Relic APM also has good response times."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"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 product requires high maintenance."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"The price could improve."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
