We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Server Monitoring and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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 product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."
"Power packs."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The configuration is tricky and requires a lot of tools."
"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."
"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."
"If we consider the implementation of alternative solutions, such as Dynatrace, there is a notable difference in the approach to agent-based service monitoring. For instance, Dynatrace employs a single-agent solution, which can pose security concerns. When installing Dynatrace, granting the agent ld pro payload rights is a requirement. In contrast, our solution ensures a more secure approach by not requiring root and administration access. While we currently utilize an agent-based solution, there may be a shift in the next one or two years, possibly with the adoption of Open Telemetry. It's anticipated that many APM vendors, including Dynatrace, may alter their structure or strategy for implementation. However, as of now, the trend is towards an increasing number of implementations daily."
"Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
