We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and SolarWinds Pingdom 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 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."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"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."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"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."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"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."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
