We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and AWS X-Ray based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"The solution has made it easier for us to trace the problems that we have with our requests and to monitor the timing of each step in each request we do in our endpoints."
"The most promising feature of AWS X-Ray is that you can debug the issues through the proper logs. You can also get an analysis out of the logs for some use cases, though I have yet to try all the features of AWS X-Ray."
"The most important one is compliance. We're able to achieve our regulatory levels. We're able to achieve the security level that we need for the federal government."
"AWS X-Ray is a strong solution and has a smooth integration process."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"AWS X-RAY identifies bottlenecks in terms of stability and performance and how long certain data lives in terms of response time and duration."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"What needs to be better in AWS X-Ray is the log filtering. Predefined filters could be helpful because the power of analytics comes from how you can filter the data. I also want to see more KPIs from AWS X-Ray."
"The user interface is sometimes kind of confusing to understand. It's not very user-friendly."
"If you have a small team, it's probably overkill."
"They can improve how traces are sent to other providers."
"I do not have any notes in terms of improvements."
"Like most Amazon products, the user interface, configuration, and tuning aren't the easiest. That's the biggest reason why people tend to go to products like TerraForm and Terragrunt. We use TerraForm and Terragrunt. So, for setting things up and interacting with X-Ray, it's definitely the user interface that can be better."
