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."We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"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 dashboards are very well-defined."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"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."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
"The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"New Relic's dashboard is nice, and it's reliable. It's also compatible with many services, especially Java and the Python ecosystem."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"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 product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"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."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"The scalability can be improved."
"It would be nice if there were pre-made dashboards."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."
