We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and AppDynamics Database Monitoring 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."Provides monitoring more around business processes versus just servers, applications, etc. E.g., with complex systems, where a business process passes across multiple applications, the business needs us to monitor the heath of the process, not just a segment of the application."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"It provides everything into one view, so we can track information from one place to another."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"The solution saves time and cost."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"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."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"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."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"The product requires high maintenance."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
