We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring and AWS Auto Scaling 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 is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The tool's most valuable feature is vertical auto-scaling, which is easy to use. However, most companies now prefer horizontal scaling. I set up the health check integration to monitor CPU usage. When it reaches seventy percent, it sends me an email notification."
"The various scaling options available, such as step scaling, are particularly useful."
"The health check integration feature ensures that the instances are healthy and capable of absorbing traffic, thus serving their purpose effectively."
"It is a stable platform."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to select a minimum amount of active servers so that a new server automatically launches if one fails."
"I like the graphs provided by the tool."
"It can scale."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it scales automatically without manual intervention based on the metrics we provide."
"What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"AWS Auto Scaling's documentation could be better."
"Flexibility in configuring the workload is missing in AWS Auto Scaling."
"The billing and cost optimization of the solution could be improved."
"The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers."
"It could be cheaper."
"The tool must include AI features."
"In comparison to other public clouds, the product is costly."
"The setup can be a bit complex in some situations."
