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 the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"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."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"It is a stable platform."

"It helps us to reduce the cost."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it scales automatically without manual intervention based on the metrics we provide."
"It efficiently handles traffic, ensuring we are not running expenses and the infrastructure is strong enough to handle the load."
"The solution helps optimize the cost of the AWS environment."
"The solution's monitoring effectively monitors our application and CPU utilization."
"When a lot of traffic comes into our organization, the product scales our instances based on our environment’s requirements."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"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."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"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."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"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."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"The solution is not out-of-the-box and you have to study to use it. It should be more easier to use."
"The tool's stability could be improved."
"The solution must improve automation."
"The speed of the solution must 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."
"In comparison to other public clouds, the product is costly."
"The setup can be a bit complex in some situations."
"The product could add more features for managing instances."
