We performed a comparison between Akamai mPulse and AppDynamics 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."Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."
"It has improved my organization because we are able to proactively and reactively look at performance issues."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"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."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"This solution is expensive."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
