We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Dynatrace 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 aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"We have not had any stability issues with it at all. This has been the most stable solution that I have worked with."
"The stability for the solution is pretty solid overall."
"The Dynatrace solution has an important role in optimizing application code and SQL queries for customer solutions."
"By using Dynatrace, we can set up the agents to provide alerts at the JVM level."
"Everybody can show charts and metrics, but Dynatrace’s infographics are amazing. The dashboarding is simply best in class."
"The Davis artificial intelligence built-in program is valuable. It keeps all the information about the systems, connections, service calls, and requests in its database. It looks at response times and keeps everything in check with baseline figures. If anything goes outside of that baseline, it reports based on that. If the performance starts degrading, it reports on that. Before something breaks, it tells you that it is going to break, and that's the most useful feature of Dynatrace."
"Dynatrace helped us with root cause analysis of poor performing components of our applications."
"The most valuable feature is the 360-degree view for monitoring, infrastructure, and application worlds."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"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."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"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."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"Its infra monitoring is not that good. They are mainly into the APM environment, such as network monitoring and other things. Strong end-to-end infrastructure monitoring is missing. SNMP monitoring is currently not very good in this solution."
"I also wish there was the ability to do alert filtering before it triggered an alert with PagerDuty/OpsGenie/Slack."
"There is a limitation on timeframe. Now, if you look at the dashboard, it will state five minutes, then 15 minutes, then one hour, then six hours, and finally 24 hours. I would like them to provide a set of options defining the business hour."
"It needs .NET core support to the level of Java."
"I think they're working on even more integration from external third party input, but that is ongoing. So the faster it's there the better. Clock monitoring is one of these areas where improvements can be made."
"There continues to be some opportunity to expose the infrastructure from a broader reporting standpoint. Overall, the opportunity is in the reporting capability and the ability to more flexibly expose or pivot the data for deeper analysis. Oftentimes, the solution is good at looking narrowly at information, but when you want to broaden that perspective, that's where the challenges come in. At this point, it requires the export of data to external systems to do this."
"Possibly include some network monitoring capabilities."
"This solution needs better support for security and monolithic batch processes."
