Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
