We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and BMC TrueSight Operations Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: AppDynamics is the preferred choice over BMC TrueSight Operations Management due to its wider range of valuable features such as release management capabilities, building dashboards, and providing business insights. It is also more scalable, stable, and easy to use with the ability to monitor applications of different technologies and manage log files. Despite both products having areas for improvement, AppDynamics has received more positive feedback overall and is considered worth the investment despite its higher pricing model.
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"It is a very stable product."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The pricing could be better."
