We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and New Relic 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."AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites."
"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."
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"The synthetic alert is the most valuable feature in New Relic APM. I also like the time travel feature and find traceability useful in the solution. New Relic APM also has good response times."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"The price could improve."
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available."
"The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process."
"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios. For example, if I want to size my system for an event for New Year or Christmas season based on the historical data, I won't be able to find the historical data. Currently, the data is limited to three months. It would be helpful if they can provide historical data for a longer duration so that we can plan our system accordingly."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
