We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and New Relic 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."The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"The good thing with AppDynamics Databases is that it will give you a pretty good overview of the data, all the database-like tables, long-running queries, jobs running on the databases, and the queries that are taking more time. So, it's at a deeper level with all the database functionalities, and you will get that information. So, it's a pretty good tool in that sense."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"It is easier to create new dashboards in the New Relic interface, and it is also easier to query if when I want to monitor a different parameter or time duration on my dashboard."
"End-user Synthetics and monitoring are very good."
"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters."
"We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The price could improve."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
"It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works."
"The price needs improvement."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios. For example, if I want to size my system for an event for New Year or Christmas season based on the historical data, I won't be able to find the historical data. Currently, the data is limited to three months. It would be helpful if they can provide historical data for a longer duration so that we can plan our system accordingly."
