Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."
"The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."
"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly."
"Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."
"The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time."
"The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
"I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries."
"The one thing that I find it difficult in using AppDynamics is, for any new user, it's not easy for him or her to configure the transactions in AppDynamics because the UI is pretty complex. The configuration is pretty complex for a new, fresh user. They can make the UI simpler, that'll be very helpful for anyone to configure their website in AppDynamics."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
