Nuno Rosa - PeerSpot reviewer
End-to-end visibility, feature-rich, but the support could be improved
As AppDynamics partners, we are fully aware of the roadmap, but I would like them to enhance their SAP monitoring. One of the features that I would like to see is centralized agent management in the platform console. 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.
Abdullah Baig - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use solution that has a good dashboard, performs well, and provides flexible pricing
Sentry was easy to learn compared to New Relic and Azure Monitor. I saw some valuable input. It took us the least amount of time to see how Sentry is valuable. It took just a few minutes. Session Replay provides a replay of the recorded errors. It is a good feature. Azure Monitor does not have this feature. The error reporting is straightforward. We can see everything that we need to see. The dashboard seems pretty fine. The product performs well. We can see the user's IP addresses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"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."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"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 log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"The price could be lowered."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring does have licensing cost associated with it."
"We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."
"The pricing needs to come down."
"AppDynamics does not usually do monthly payments. They do it on an annual basis, at the very least."
"This price of this product is expensive."
"AppDynamics is more expensive than competitors."
"I am currently using a self-hosted open version."
"Currently, we are in the production phase of our project and we are on free plans to use Sentry. Once we go live we will have to be on a subscription-based plan."
"We can adjust the price a little bit based on our needs."
"We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
