Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"The most valuable feature is having our services being available and healthy."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"We are able to correlate performance between tiers."
"It provides everything into one view, so we can track information from one place to another."
"AppDynamics is scalable."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"Power packs."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."
"They are using Flash for their website, which is very slow. We had hoped the website would be much faster to use, and that is definitely what we want to see."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for diagnostic purposes. Anyone who is using the solution should be able to infer what that error is about, they should be able to troubleshoot it better."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They need a little more self-service."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
