We performed a comparison between Aternity AppInternals [EOL] and SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"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 product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"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."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"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."
"Features like monitoring and infrastructure dependency mapping are valuable to us."
"Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time."
"One of the most valuable features are the reports. They're pretty good. Also, the ease of installation and customization for the client is another feature that we value. SolarWinds has a lot of features but these are the ones I like the most. We also like that the KPIs have the ability to be preset."
"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"
"The more valuable feature of this solution is the Exchange feature."
"It is simple to implement and can provide fairly decent Windows-based monitoring, beyond simple SNMP. It is great for monitoring newbies and smaller shops."
"The product integrates with Remedy."
"I am impressed with the tool's AppStack feature which mainly helps us in the identification process. This feature can give an overview of the fault and help us identify the issues for performance degradation. Instead of looking at multiple places, we can look at a single place to identify the issues."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"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 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."
"PerfStack can be made more effective. I am sure SolarWinds already has a plan for the same in coming versions."
"Nodes in Azure are able to be monitored with the use of agents, but this does not apply to cloud service offerings that are not node based."
"The tool's AppStack needs to improve in the storage monitoring part. It should also include an analytics and recommendation approach. If I have found a fault in a server or application, I would like to know what caused it and how do I recover from it."
"Currently SolarWinds SAM offers AppInsight for modern versions of: IIS, Exchange, SQL Server. They have shown to be powerful and insightful tools. However, AppInsight needs to be offered for more applications: Citrix, SharePoint, AX, etc."
"One area that could benefit from improvement is its performance"
"The templates could use improvement. Currently, they are quite complex. They should have drag-and-drop functionality instead. It would make it easier to use."
"The product does not explain why a problem occurred."
"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
